Method of fabricating interconnect lines and plate electrodes of a storage capacitor in a semiconductor device

摘要

A method of fabricating a semiconductor device where the formation of a conductive layer typically over a storage capacitor on the device is used both as a plate electrode and also as an interconnect line. The method therefore combines the fabrication process steps of forming a plate electrode with the steps of forming a wiring layer. In a preferred embodiment, the storage capacitor is part of a cell array portion of a semiconductor memory device, whereas the interconnect line is in a peripheral portion of the memory device.
