Method for fabricating capacitor in semiconductor memory device

Abstract

Disclosed is a method for fabricating a capacitor in a semiconductor memory device. The method includes the steps of: sequentially forming a first insulation layer and a first etch stop layer on a substrate; forming a plurality of contact holes by etching the first insulation layer and the first etch stop layer; forming a plurality of contact plugs on the plurality of contact holes such that the contact plugs are more projected than the first etch stop layer; sequentially forming a second etch stop layer and a capacitor insulation layer; forming a plurality of openings by etching the second etch stop layer and the capacitor insulation layer to expose the contact plugs; sequentially forming a storage node material and a sacrificial layer; etching the storage node material and the sacrificial layer, thereby obtaining isolated storage node material; and removing remaining portions of the sacrificial layer and the capacitor insulation layer.
