Abstract
Apparatuses and methods for controlling hydrogen supply in manufacturing memory devices are described. An example apparatus includes: a first capacitor disposed above a substrate; a hydrogen supply film above the first capacitor; a second capacitor above the hydrogen supply film; and a barrier film between the hydrogen supply film and the second capacitor. The hydrogen supply film provides hydrogen and/or hydrogen ions. The barrier film is hydrogen-impermeable.
