Abstract
A method of fabricating cup shape cylindrical capacitor of high density Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM) cells is disclosed. The cup shape capacitor shape is achieved by first depositing a first polysilicon layer on a silicon substrate; a third dielectric layer is then formed overlaying the first polysilicon layer, and defined third dielectric crowns by the conventional lithography and etching techniques; a second polysilicon layer is deposited overlaying the third dielectric crowns and first polysilicon layer; the first polysilicon and second polysilicon layers are then vertically anisotropically etchback to define storage nodes of the cylindrical capacitors; the third dielectric crowns are removed; finally, the capacitor dielectric layer and the polysilicon top plate of the capacitor are formed to complete the cup shape cylindrical capacitor formation for high density DRAM applications.
