A method for forming the cylindrical lower electrode of a capacitor includes the steps of providing a semiconductor substrate, and then forming an insulation layer over the substrate. Next, a contact opening is formed in the insulation layer, and then a conductive layer is formed, filling the contact opening and covering the insulation layer. Subsequently, a patterned photoresist layer is formed over the conductive layer. Thereafter, silylated photoresist spacers are formed on the sidewalls of the photoresist layer. Finally, using the spacers as a mask, the photoresist layer and a portion of the conductive layer are etched away to form the cylindrical-shaped lower electrode of a capacitor.
