A method for fabricating landing pads for DRAM cells is disclosed. The method comprises following steps: At first, a substrate formed with isolation regions, periphery transistor region and a defined DRAM region are patterned so that an oxide layer on the defined DRAM region are removed to expose the source/drain region nitride caps, and nitride spacers. After a polysilicon layer is formed on all resulting surfaces, a photoresist pattern is subsequently formed on the polysilicon layer of the DRAM region so that the photoresist openings over the nitride cap are formed. Next, a conformal polymer layer of about 0.1 mu m in thickness is formed on all resulting surfaces so that a smaller polymer opening about 0.1 mu m size or beyond is formed in each of the photoresist openings. Finally, using the polymer layer as a mask and the nitride cap as a stopping layer, a polymer etching and a polysilicon etching are performed so that the landing pads are generated.
