Abstract
Integrated circuit capacitors include a U-shaped capacitor electrode on a substrate and an HSG silicon layer extending on an inner surface of the U-shaped capacitor electrode. A HSG protection layer comprising silicon nitride is also provided. The HSG protection layer extends on the HSG silicon layer but not on an outer surface of the U-shaped capacitor electrode. A first capacitor dielectric layer comprising silicon nitride extends on the silicon nitride HSG protection layer and on the outer surface of the U-shaped capacitor electrode. A second capacitor dielectric layer comprising an oxide extends on the first capacitor dielectric layer and an upper capacitor electrode extends on the second capacitor dielectric layer.
