Abstract: Memory cell support lattices and methods of forming the same are described herein. As an example, a method of forming a memory cell support lattice includes forming a mask on a number of capacitor elements in an array, such that a space between vertically and horizontally adjacent capacitor elements is fully covered and a space between diagonally adjacent capacitor elements is partially covered and forming a support lattice in a support material by etching the support material to remove portions of the support material below the openings in the mask.

Abstract: A blanket stop layer is conformally formed on a layer with a large step height. A first chemical mechanical polishing process is performed to remove the blanket stop layer atop the layer in the raised region. A second chemical mechanical polishing process is performed to planarize the wafer using the blanket stop layer as a stop layer when the layer is lower than or at a same level as the blanket stop layer or using the layer as a stop layer when the blanket stop layer is lower than or at a same level as the layer, or a selective dry etch is performed to remove the layer in the raised region. Thus, the layer in the raised region can be easily removed without occurrence of dishing in the non-raised region which is protected by the blanket stop layer.

Other structures include an at least partially formed container capacitor, a lattice material, and an anchor material disposed over a surface of the lattice material and at least a portion of an end surface of the first conductive member and forming a chemical barrier over at least a portion of an interface between the lattice material and the upper end portion of the first conductive member.

Abstract: A method of forming a capacitor includes providing material having an opening therein over a node location on a substrate. A shield is provided within and across the opening, with a void being received within the opening above the shield and a void being received within the opening below the shield. The shield comprises a nitride. Etching is conducted within the opening through the nitride-comprising shield. After the etching, a first capacitor electrode is formed within the opening in electrical connection with the node location. A capacitor dielectric and a second capacitor electrode are formed operatively adjacent the first capacitor electrode. Other aspects and implementations are contemplated.

Abstract: A plurality of capacitor electrode openings is formed within capacitor electrode-forming material. A first set of the openings is formed to a depth which is greater within the capacitor electrode-forming material than is a second set of the openings. Conductive first capacitor electrode material is formed therein. A sacrificial retaining structure is formed elevationally over both the first capacitor electrode material and the capacitor electrode-forming material, leaving some of the capacitor electrode-forming material exposed. With the retaining structure in place, at least some of the capacitor electrode-forming material is etched from the substrate effective to expose outer sidewall surfaces of the first capacitor electrode material.
