Abstract
Disclosed is a method for preventing a bunker defect generation on a lower portion of a cylinder type metal bottom electrode. The method includes the steps of: forming an etch stop layer on a bottom structure with a conductive region and an insulation region; forming a capacitor insulation layer on the etch stop layer; forming an opening exposing the conductive region by selectively etching the capacitor insulation layer and the etch stop layer; growing a selective epitaxial growth (SEG) layer in the conductive region exposed through the opening; forming a metal layer for a capacitor bottom electrode along a profile provided with the opening; forming an isolated capacitor bottom electrode by removing the metal layer until the capacitor insulation layer is exposed; and removing the capacitor insulation layer, thereby making the capacitor bottom electrode have a cylinder type structure.
