摘要 |
In one aspect, the invention includes a method of forming a silicon-comprising material having a roughened outer surface. A semiconductive substrate is provided which comprises conductively doped silicon. A layer comprising silicon and germanium is formed over the substrate. The layer is exposed to conditions which cause crystalline grains within it to increase in size until roughness of a surface of the layer is increased. Dopant is out-diffused from the conductively doped silicon and into the crystalline grains of the layer to conductively dope the layer. In another aspect, the invention includes a method of forming a capacitor construction. A substrate is provided and a conductively doped silicon-comprising material is formed to be supported by the substrate. A layer is formed against the conductively doped silicon-comprising material. The layer has an outermost surface, and comprises silicon and germanium. The layer is subjected to conditions which increase a roughness of the outermost surface. The layer and the conductively doped silicon-comprising material together define a first capacitor electrode. Dopant is out-diffused from the conductively doped silicon-comprising material and into the layer. A dielectric layer is formed against said outermost surface. A second capacitor electrode is formed to be separated from the first capacitor electrode by the dielectric layer.
