Abstract: A ferroelectric device and a manufacturing method are provided. While holding a nonvolatile memory retention capability and a multiple rewriting endurance as the distinctive features of a ferroelectric device, the disclosed ferroelectric device is wider in memory window and more adaptively made microfiner than a conventional ferroelectric device that has used a ferroelectric mainly constituted of Sr—Bi—Ta—O as an oxide of strontium, bismuth and tantalum. Directly on or with intermediary of an insulator on a semiconductor there are layered a first ferroelectric and a conductor to form a gate stack, the first ferroelectric being mainly constituted of Sr—Ca—Bi—Ta—O as an oxide of strontium, calcium, bismuth and tantalum and being built up by a metal organic vapor deposition technique from a suitable film-forming raw material.

Abstract: Because an evaporating apparatus for use in an MOCVD film deposition system has a structure in which a plurality of gas passages brings in a gas from the upper direction, the apparatus has a difficulty to position a jet nozzle, and the apparatus is incapable of accurately controlling the pressure and flow rate of a carrier gas mixed with a raw material solution to be issued into an evaporating unit, and it is thus difficult to highly accurately control the composition of MOCVD films. A plurality of gas passages is arranged on a flat, disk-shaped plate. With this configuration, the accurate positioning of the jet nozzle can be made easier, and the composition of MOCVD films can be controlled highly accurately.
