Abstract
A semiconductor device capacitor structure comprises a semiconductor substrate having an impurity diffusion region; an insulating layer formed on the semiconductor substrate and having a contact hole on the impurity diffusion region; a first lower electrode of a half ring type formed on the insulating film along an upper edge of the contact hole; a second lower electrode formed on a surface of the substrate exposed through the contact hole, a wall of the contact hole, and the first lower electrode; a dielectric layer formed on the first and second lower electrodes; and an upper electrode formed on the dielectric layer. This structure increases capacitance, thereby improving the characteristics and reliability of the device.
