따라서, 차세대 소자에서 Ta2O5막을 적용할 경우에는 충분한 정전용량을 확보함과 동시에 누설전류를 감소시키는 문제점을 해결하여야 한다.Therefore, when applying the Ta 2 O 5 film in the next-generation device to solve the problem of ensuring a sufficient capacitance and at the same time reduce the leakage current.
상기와 같은 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 안출된 본 발명은 유전체와 하부전극 사이의 누설전류를 감소시키고, 충분한 정전용량을 확보할 수 있는 캐패시터 제조 방법을 제공하는데 그 목적이 있다.The present invention devised to solve the above problems is to provide a capacitor manufacturing method that can reduce the leakage current between the dielectric and the lower electrode, and can ensure a sufficient capacitance.
