Abstract
The present invention relates to a method of fabricating a DRAM capacitor. As the capability of the charges stored in the capacitor is in proportion to the area of the capacitor plates, the electrodes of the DRAM capacitor according to the present invention is bowl-shaped such that the area of the capacitor increases. Further, the process is simple, and the height of the bowl-shaped capacitor is not as large as that of the conventional capacitor.
