DRAM cell capacitor having hemispherical grain silicon on a selected portion of a storage node

摘要

A DRAM cell capacitor is provided, having HSG (hemispherical grain) silicon disposed on a selected portion of a storage node. The capacitor resembles a solid cylindrical configuration having a top portion, a side wall, and a top edge portion sloped downward from the top portion to the side wall. HSG silicon is disposed only on the top portion and the side wall, but not on the sloped top edge portion.
