The present invention pertains to a method of fabricating a trench capacitor having increased capacitance. To tackle a difficult problem of etching deeper trenches having very high aspect ratio, an epitaxial silicon growth process is employed in the fabrication of next-generation trench DRAM devices. A large-capacitance trench capacitor is first fabricated in the silicon substrate. An epitaxial silicon layer is then grown on the silicon substrate. Active areas, shallow trench isolation regions, and gate conductors are formed on/in the epitaxial silicon layer.
