Abstract
The present invention is a method of manufacturing crown shape capacitors in the semiconducter memories. Using a single step etching to farbricate the capacitor in a DRAM cell. The method can form side wall polymers and etching byproductions on the surface of the first polysilicon, using the side wall polymers and the etching byproductions as a mask to form the crown shape capacitors with pillars. Moreover, this present invention can form the crown shape structure and pillars in the same step, the crown shape structure and the pillars increase the surface area of the capacitor. Therefore the present invention will increase the performance of the capacitor.
