  • Publication number: 20020025624
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a capacitor for use in a semiconductor device comprises forming silicon plugs between junction regions and upper conductive structures by depositing an amorphous silicon layer on a semiconductor substrate and into the contact holes formed in an insulating layer using a low pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD) method. The amorphous silicon layer is then crystallized in an inert gas ambient to form a crystallized silicon layer and a portion of the crystallized silicon layer is removed to expose a top surface of the interlayer insulating film and to form the silicon plugs. Upper conductive structures are then formed on the silicon plugs and a metastable polysilicon (MPS) layer is then selectively formed on the exposed surfaces of the conductive structure.

  • Patent number: 6034778
    Abstract: The present invention is a method which can obtain an actual value close to a desired capacitance of capacitor by precisely monitoring the area variation rate of film by using a correlation between a height of hemispherical grains formed on a surface of film and a surface area of film. The present invention provides a method of calculating an area variation rate `C.sub.E ` by using the porosity ratio `f.sub.v ` and the height `t` of hemispherical grains and measuring the capacitance of capacitor by using the obtained area variation rate. According to this method, the area variation rate of film can be obtained close to actual value by measuring the height of hemispherical grains formed on the surface of film, and the variation in capacitance before completion of capacitor can be precisely obtained.
