A method for forming double-sided capacitors for a semiconductor device includes forming a dielectric structure which supports capacitor bottom plates during wafer processing. The structure is particularly useful for supporting the bottom plates during removal of a base dielectric layer to expose the outside of the bottom plates to form a double-sided capacitor. The support structure further supports the bottom plates during formation of a cell dielectric layer, a capacitor top plate, and final supporting dielectric. An inventive structure is also described.
Provided is a method of manufacturing a capacitor of a semiconductor device, which can prevent tilting or an electrical short of a lower electrode. In the method, a mesh-type bridge insulating layer is formed above the contact plug on a mold oxide layer. The mold oxide layer and the bridge insulating layer are etched to define an electrode region. The mold oxide layer is removed using an etching gas having an etch selectivity of 500 or greater for the mold oxide layer with respect to the bridge insulating layer.
A method produces stacked capacitors for dynamic memory cells, in which a number of trenches (48) are formed in the masking layer (40), each trench (48) being arranged above a respective contact plug (26) and extending from the top (42) of the masking layer (40) to the contact plugs (26). A conductive layer (50) covers the side walls (49) of the trenches (48) and the contact plugs (26) in order to form a first electrode (60) of a stacked capacitor (12). In an upper region (63), which is remote from the contact stack (26), the conductive layer (50) is replaced by an insulating layer, so that it is not possible for a short circuit to arise in the event of any adhesion between adjacent electrodes.
