  • Patent number: 8247304
    Abstract: Provided is a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device having a capacitor under bit line (CUB) structure capable of increasing a gap between a bit line in a cell area and an upper plate of a capacitor, reducing coupling capacitance therebetween, and forming deep contacts in a logic area. A capacitor including a lower electrode, a dielectric material layer, and an upper electrode is formed in an opening of a first insulating layer for exposing a first part of a semiconductor substrate in a cell area. A second insulating layer is formed on the first insulating layer. The first and second insulating layers are etched. First and second contact plugs are formed in first and second contact holes for exposing second and third parts in the cell area and the logic area. A third insulating layer including first through third conductive studs is formed on the second insulating layer.

  • Publication number: 20080135910
    Abstract: In a semiconductor device and a method of fabrication thereof, a semiconductor device comprises a substrate including transistors and partitioned into a memory region and a logic region. A bit line is electrically connected to at least one of the transistors in the memory region. A logic capacitor is formed on the logic region. The logic capacitor includes a logic lower metal electrode of a same layer as that of the bit line, a logic dielectric film, and a logic upper metal electrode.

  • Publication number: 20070173049
    Abstract: There is provided a capacitor and a method for fabricating the same. The method may include forming an interlayer insulation layer on a semiconductor substrate, patterning the interlayer insulation layer to form a contact hole exposing a region of the semiconductor substrate and forming a contact plug by filling the contact hole, wherein a top of the contact plug may have a height identical to that of the interlayer insulation layer. The method may further include forming a recess on the interlayer insulation layer, the recess exposing a portion of the contact plug, forming a bottom electrode on an inner profile of the recess including sides of the contact plug and depositing a dielectric layer and a top electrode on a profile of the semiconductor substrate including the bottom electrode to form a capacitor.

  • Patent number: 7018903
    Abstract: A method of forming a semiconductor device comprising: sequentially forming a supporting layer and a sacrificial layer over a semiconductor substrate; forming an opening by patterning the sacrificial layer and the supporting layer; forming a bottom electrode covering the inner wall and the bottom of the opening; removing the sacrificial layer by a wet etch process; and forming a dielectric layer and an upper electrode on the bottom electrode and the supporting layer, wherein the sacrificial layer is formed of a material having a faster wet etch rate than the supporting layer.
