Abstract
A stacked multi fingered cell (SMFC) capacitor using a modified stacked capacitor storage cell fabrication process. The SMFC is made up of polysilicon structure, having a multi-fingered cross-section, located at a buried contact and extending to an adjacent storage node overlaid by polysilicon with a dielectric sandwiched in between. The addition of the polysilicon structure increases storage capability 120% without enlarging the surface area defined for a normal stacked capacitor cell.
