The dummy oxide layer and portions of the seed layer which are not covered with the conductive material are removed, thereby obtaining lower electrodes. A capacitor dielectric layer is on the lower electrodes. Finally, an upper electrode layer is formed on the capacitor dielectric layer.

Abstract: There is disclosed a method of manufacturing a capacitor in a semiconductor device. In a Ta2O5 capacitor using a Ru lower electrode, the method processes the Ru lower electrode at low temperature before a Ta2O5 film of a dielectric film is deposited, so that Ru crystal particles are filled with oxygen atoms to form a good quality RuO2. Therefore, the disclosed method can prevent a lift phenomenon of a thin film by prohibiting a stress of the Ta2O5 dielectric film due to RuO2 generated between the Ta2O5 dielectric film and the Ru lower electrode during the deposition process of a Ta2O5 dielectric and a subsequent annealing process. Also, the disclosed method can prevent diffusion of oxygen atoms and oxidization of a TiN film underlying the Ru film from the Ta2O5 dielectric film. As a result, the method can improve leakage current and electrical characteristics of a capacitor.
