Abstract: The present invention relates to a stacked memory capacitor of a DRAM cell, particularly, relates to a DRAM cell having a memory capacitor whose storage electrode possesses a remarkably increase area without increasing its occupation area and the complexity of fabrication thereof. By disposing the storage electrode of the memory capacitor on a rugged stacked oxide layer, the area of the storage electrode is remarkably enlarged since the growing of the storage electrode made of a doped polysilicon layer is followed along the topography of the rugged stacked oxide layer, thereby, resulting in a rugged surface thereof. The entire rugged surface of the storage electrode is covered with a dielectric layer to form a plate electrode made of a doped polysilicon layer. The memory capacitor provided by the invention achieves a higher capacitance while maintaining the same occupation area and packing density as that of the conventional arts.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a rugged stacked oxide layer structure which remarkably increases an area of a subsequent deposition layer over the rugged stacked oxide layer. The enlargement of the area of a deposition layer over the rugged oxide layer enables one to ameliorate an electrical characteristic of a device and provide a higher integration density. For example, the rugged stacked oxide layer can be used to provide a higher capacitance by enlarging the area of a storage electrode of a capacitor. Similarly it can also be used to increase light absorption of a photodetector per unit area by enlarging an interfacial area of a P-N junction of the photodetector.
