Abstract
A ferroelectric memory structure including a first conductive line, a second conductive line, and a memory cell is provided. The second conductive line is disposed on the first conductive line. The memory cell is disposed between the first and second conductive lines. The memory cell includes a switch device and a ferroelectric capacitor structure. The switch device is disposed between the first and second conductive lines. The ferroelectric capacitor structure is disposed between the first conductive line and the switch device. The ferroelectric capacitor structure includes ferroelectric capacitors electrically connected. Each of the ferroelectric capacitors includes a first conductive layer, a second conductive layer, and a ferroelectric material layer. The second conductive layer is disposed on the first conductive layer. The ferroelectric material layer is disposed between the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer. The ferroelectric material layers in the ferroelectric capacitors have different top-view areas.
