Abstract
A method for fabricating a semiconductor device includes: forming a mold structure including a mold layer and a supporter layer over a semiconductor substrate; forming an opening penetrating the mold structure; forming a protective layer on a bottom surface and a sidewall of the opening; forming a lower electrode over the protective layer; selectively etching the supporter layer to form a supporter that supports the lower electrode; removing the mold layer to define a non-exposed portion and an exposed portion of an outer wall of the protective layer; and selectively trimming the exposed portion of the protective layer to form a protective layer pattern between the supporter and the lower electrode.
