The present invention discloses a method for forming a DRAM capacitor that has improved charge storage capacity by first alternatingly depositing layers of BPTEOS oxide and PETEOS oxide onto a semiconductor substrate and then forming a contact hole through the insulating layers utilizing a wet etchant that has high selectivity for the PETEOS oxide layers such that a zig-zag surface is formed in the contact hole and subsequently a capacitor that has improved charge storage capacity. The present invention novel method can be used to form any type of stacked capacitors, for instance, a stacked capacitor, a fin-type stacked capacitor, a crown-type stacked capacitor, etc.
