  • Patent number: 6734077
    Abstract: A method for fabricating a trench capacitor for a semiconductor memory includes forming a masking layer in a trench that is disposed in a substrate. Nanocrystallites, which are used to pattern the masking layer, are deposited on the masking layer. Microtrenches are etched into the substrate in a lower region of the trench by the patterned masking layer. The microtrenches form a roughened trench sidewall. As a result, the outer capacitor electrode is formed with a larger surface area, allowing the trench capacitor to have a higher capacitance.
    Type: Grant
