A process for fabricating a crown-cell capacitor in a memory integrated circuit. The process includes the step of forming a transistor having a contact region 353 at a surface of a semiconductor substrate 300 . The transistor, with the exception of the contact region, is covered with a first material 362, 366 and the first material and the contact region are then covered with a layer of a second material 370 . The portion of the second layer covering the contact region is removed to expose the contact region so that the removal of the portions of the second layer forms a cavity characterized by a bottom formed of the first material and sides formed of the second material. Further steps in the process include forming a first conductive layer 372 in the cavity to contact the contact region and conform to the bottom and sides, forming a dielectric layer 376 over the first conductive layer, and forming a second conductive layer 378 over the dielectric layer.
