Abstract
In a semiconductor memory device, a storage node electrode having a cavity is provided such that the inner surface of a storage node electrode is used as a capacitor electrode. In a DRAM fabricating method, a storage node electrode having a cavity is formed by laminating a first conductor layer, an insulating film and a second conductor layer, which in turn are patterned into a desired shape, depositing a third conductor layer on the three-layer pattern, performing anisotropic etching so as to cause the third conductor layer to remain only on the side walls of the pattern to thereby form a box-shaped conductor, forming an opening in a part of the box-shaped conductor, removing the insulating film by an etching to thereby form a cavity.
