Abstract: A manufacturing method of a semiconductor memory device includes the following steps. A semiconductor substrate having a memory cell region and a peripheral region defined thereon is provided. Bit line structures are formed on the memory cell region. At least one gate structure is formed on the peripheral region. A spacer layer is formed covering the semiconductor substrate, the gate structure, and the bit line structures. The spacer layer is partly disposed on the memory cell region and partly disposed on the peripheral region. A first etching process is performed to the spacer layer for removing a part of the spacer layer on the memory cell region. At least a part of the spacer layer remains on the memory cell region after the first etching process. A second etching process is performed after the first etching process for removing the spacer layer remaining on the memory cell region.

Abstract: A manufacturing method of an epitaxial contact structure in a semiconductor memory device includes the following steps. A recess is formed in a semiconductor substrate by an etching process. An etching defect is formed in the recess by the etching process. An oxidation process is performed after the etching process. An oxide layer is formed in the recess by the oxidation process, and the etching defect is encompassed by the oxide layer. A cleaning process is performed after the oxidation process. The oxide layer and the etching defect encompassed by the oxide layer are removed by the cleaning process. An epitaxial growth process is performed to form an epitaxial contact structure in the recess after the cleaning process.

Abstract: A method for fabricating a capacitor includes firstly providing a substrate. A doped first dielectric layer and an undoped second dielectric layer are then formed on the substrate sequentially. Next, many trenches are formed in the first and the second dielectric layers. Afterwards, an ion implantation process is performed in the largest space between the adjacent trenches to form an ion-implanted region in a portion of the second dielectric layer in upper parts of the trenches. A wet etching process is then performed to remove a portion of the second dielectric layer in the ion-implanted region and a portion of the first dielectric layer at bottoms of the trenches. Thereafter, a first conductive layer and a capacitor dielectric layer are formed sequentially on surfaces of the trenches. Finally, a second conductive layer is formed in the trenches.
