A multiple crown capacitor and a method of fabricating such a capacitor is described. The method is applicable to a substrate in which an isolation layer is formed on the substrate, with a node contact plug formed in the isolation layer. A sacrificial layer is then formed on the substrate followed by a patterning of the sacrificial layer to form a succession of openings above the node contact plug and its surroundings, exposing the isolation layer and a portion of the node contact plug upper surface. Thereafter, a conformal conductive layer is formed on the sacrificial layer and in the openings. A portion of the conductive layer, which is higher than the sacrificial layer, is removed, followed by removing the sacrificial layer to form a bottom electrode. A conformal dielectric layer and an upper electrode are sequentially formed on the bottom electrode to complete the formation of the capacitor. The structure of the capacitor includes a bottom electrode, which comprises a succession of openings on the upper surface of the bottom electrode. The bottom electrode is located on the node contact plug and is electrically connected to the node plug. A conformal dielectric layer and an upper electrode are sequentially formed on the bottom electrode.
