Abstract
A stacked v-cell (SVC) capacitor using a modified stacked capacitor storage cell fabrication process. The SVC capacitor is made up of polysilicon structure, having a v-shaped 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 70% without enlarging the surface area defined for a normal stacked capacitor cell.
