Abstract: A process forms an integrated device having: a first conductive region; a second conductive region; an insulating layer arranged between the first and the second conductive region; at least one through opening extending in the insulating layer between the first and the second conductive region; and a contact structure formed in the through opening and electrically connecting the first conductive region and the second conductive region. The contact structure is formed by a conductive material layer that coats the side surface and the bottom of the through opening and surrounds an empty region which is closed at the top by the second conductive region. The conductive material layer preferably comprises a titanium layer and a titanium-nitride layer arranged on top of one another.

Abstract: A memory cell of a stacked type is formed by a MOS transistor and a ferroelectric capacitor. The MOS transistor is formed in an active region of a substrate of semiconductor material and comprises a conductive region. The ferroelectric capacitor is formed on top of the active region and comprises a first and a second electrodes separated by a ferroelectric region. A contact region connects the conductive region of the MOS transistor to the first electrode of the ferroelectric capacitor. The ferroelectric capacitor has a non-planar structure, formed by a horizontal portion and two side portions extending transversely to, and in direct electrical contact with, the horizontal portion.
