Abstract(in English) We studied characteristic of DRAM capacitors with ZrO2/Al2O3/ZrO2 (ZAZ) multilayer fabricated by atomic layer deposition and post-deposition annealing (PDA) at 600 oC in O2. The dielectric constant of ZrO2 single-layer exhibited about 28 because of the tetragonal, orthorhombic and cubic phase. The leakage current density of TiN/ZAZ/TiN MIM capacitor with 0.3 nm thick Al2O3 layer was drastically reduced by 1/6 compared to that of TiN/ZrO2/TiN capacitor. In addition, the k value of the overall insulating layer maintained around 28 in regions of 0.4 nm thick or less Al2O3 layer. We found that ZAZ multilayer with 0.3 nm thick Al2O3 layer plays an important role of the reduction of the leakage current density without decline of the k value of the overall insulating layer.
