Abstract

A capacitor structure includes a storage node; a capacitor dielectric on the storage node; and a plate electrode on the capacitor dielectric. The capacitor dielectric may include a Si-doped ZrO2 layer or crystalline ZrSiOx with a Si/(Zr+Si) content ranging between 4-9% by atomic ratio. The capacitor structure further includes an interfacial TiO2/TiON layer between the storage node and the capacitor dielectric.
