Abstract

Abstract A method for manufacturing a high capacitance capacitor having an HSG film formed on a stack-structured lower storage node, includes the step of forming insulating films for protecting the HSG film. In the present invention the lower storage node and the HSG film formed thereon are not damaged during an etch-back process. The HSG film formed on the lower storage node is protected by means of the insulating films, thereby preventing a decrease in capacitor capacitance.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim 210 words
A capacitor manufacturing method, comprising the steps of: forming a first insulating film including a contact hole on a surface of a semiconductor substrate; forming a first conductive layer on said first insulating film while burying said contact hole; forming a first HSG film having hemispherical particles of a first size on a surface of said first conductive layer; sequentially forming a second insulating film and a third insulating film on a surface of said first HSG film; patterning said second insulating film and said third insulating film; etching said first HSG film and said first conductive layer by using said patterned third insulating film and second insulating film as a mask to form a lower storage node having said first conductive layer and said HSG film; removing said third insulating film; forming a second HSG film having hemispherical particles of substantially the same size as the size of the hemispherical particles in the first HSG film on said second insulating film and said lower storage node; removing said second HSG film formed around said lower storage node; and removing said second insulating film and at the same time removing a portion of said first insulating film so that said first conductive layer does not contact said first insulating film.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 210 words
A capacitor manufacturing method, comprising the steps of: forming a first insulating film including a contact hole on a surface of a semiconductor substrate; forming a first conductive layer on said first insulating film while burying said contact hole; forming a first HSG film having hemispherical particles of a first size on a surface of said first conductive layer; sequentially forming a second insulating film and a third insulating film on a surface of said first HSG film; patterning said second insulating film and said third insulating film; etching said first HSG film and said first conductive layer by using said patterned third insulating film and second insulating film as a mask to form a lower storage node having said first conductive layer and said HSG film; removing said third insulating film; forming a second HSG film having hemispherical particles of substantially the same size as the size of the hemispherical particles in the first HSG film on said second insulating film and said lower storage node; removing said second HSG film formed around said lower storage node; and removing said second insulating film and at the same time removing a portion of said first insulating film so that said first conductive layer does not contact said first insulating film.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 18 words
A capacitor manufacturing method as claimed in claim 1, wherein said first insulating film has a multi-layer structure.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 19 words
A capacitor manufacturing method as claimed in claim 2, wherein said multi-layer structure is formed from three insulating films.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 49 words
A capacitor manufacturing method as claimed in claim 3, wherein a first insulating film and a third insulating film of said three insulating films are formed from one of an HTO, a BPSG and a USG and a second film of said three insulating films is a nitride film.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 26 words
A capacitor manufacturing method as claimed in claim 1, wherein said third insulating film is formed of one of a polysilicon layer and a nitride layer.
