Abstract
A method of fabricating a high-density capacitor. At least one first trench is formed in a dielectric layer positioned on a semiconductor substrate. A first liner layer and a first conductive layer are formed on the semiconductor substrate followed by a first planarization process. At least one second trench having a joint side wall with the first trench is formed in the dielectric layer. A capacitor dielectric layer, a second liner layer, and a second conductive layer are formed on the semiconductor substrate followed by a second planarization process. The surfaces of the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer are then exposed to form a high-density capacitor having a three-dimensional structure.
