Abstract

A method of fabricating a ferroelectric capacitor is disclosed. The method comprises decreasing a reduction in a bottom electrode material during formation of the ferroelectric dielectric portion of the capacitor. The method comprises forming an oxygen doped iridium layer and forming a ferroelectric dielectric layer thereover. During the formation of the ferroelectric, the oxygen doped iridium layer converts to an iridium oxide layer.
