Abstract

Abstract A method for fabricating a capacitor useful for ultra large scale integration semiconductor devices of 64M DRAM or larger, comprising the steps of: laminating a plurality of insulating layers which are different in etch selection ratio from one another; selectively etching the insulating layers to make a cavity between the insulating layers; depositing a polysilicon layer for a storage electrode over the resulting structure, to fill the cavity; and subjecting the polysilicon layer to etch back to form a spacer.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim 376 words
A method for fabricating a capacitor of a semiconductor device, comprising the steps of: forming a contact hole in a stack structure consisting of a first insulating layer and a second insulating layer, which are sequentially formed on a substrate; depositing a first polysilicon layer to fill the contact hole and forming a first photosensitive film pattern for a storage electrode mask on the first polysilicon layer; etching the material from the first polysilicon layer away to an appropriate depth, to form a protrusion, with the first photosensitive film serving as a mask; removing the first photosensitive film pattern and sequentially depositing a third insulating film on the entire structure of said first polysilicon layer formed after said removing process, depositing a fourth insulating film on said third insulating film, and depositing a fifth insulating film on said fourth insulating film; forming a second photosensitive film pattern for a storage electrode mask, wider than the first photosensitive film pattern, on the fifth insulating layer; sequentially subjecting the fifth, the fourth and the third insulating films and the first polysilicon layer to dry etch to form a third insulating layer pattern, a fourth insulating layer pattern, a fifth insulating layer pattern, and a first polysilicon layer pattern, respectively, with said second photosensitive film pattern serving as a mask; removing the second photosensitive film pattern and excavating the fourth insulating layer pattern to some extent to form a cavity between the third and the fifth insulating layer patterns; depositing a second polysilicon layer over the resulting structure to fill the cavity and subjecting the second polysilicon layer to etch back to form a spacer at the side wall of the third and the fifth insulating layer patterns, said spacer being in electrical connection with the first polysilicon layer pattern and the second polysilicon layer remaining in the cavity; removing the materials form the fifth, the fourth and the third insulating film patterns and the second insulating layer by wet etch, to expose a storage electrode consisting of the first polysilicon layer pattern and the second polysilicon spacer, a part of which extends over the first polysilicon layer pattern; and coating a dielectric film on the surfaces of the storage electrode and forming a plate electrode along the surfaces.

Claim 3
Dependent Claim 36 words
A method in accordance with claim 1, wherein said fourth insulating layer is made of a material which differs in wet etch selection ratio from those of the third insulating layer and the fifth insulating layer.
