摘要 |
The present invention provides a method of manufacturing a capacitor for a DRAM which is characterized in that after forming a first conductive layer, an oxidation barrier layer (e.g., silicon nitride) and a polysilicon layer over associated field effect transistors, an opening is formed in the polysilicon layer over the contact node (e.g., source region) of the DRAM FET. The polysilicon layer is the oxidized thereby reducing the area of the opening below that of conventional photolithography limits. The oxidation barrier layer and the first conductive layer are anisotropically etched using the oxidized polysilicon layer as a mask. The polysilicon layer and oxidation barrier layer are then removed. Next, the first conductive layer is patterned into a bottom electrode. A dielectric layer and a top electrode are formed over the bottom electrode to complete the capacitor and DRAM of the present invention.
