  • Patent number: 6436761
    Abstract: There is provided a method for manufacturing semiconductor memory devices includes the steps of; forming, for example, an N-type MOS transistor as a memory-cell selecting transistor on a P-type silicon substrate beforehand; forming, as a capacitive-element manufacturing step, an HSG on a first amorphous silicon film which provides a lower electrode; and diffusing an impurity into this HSG and then removing a surface layer of the HSG.

  • Patent number: 6399439
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device in which a hemispherical grain size of an inner and an outer wall surfaces of a cylindrical member is uniform to promote the increase of surface areas and to prevent short-circuit between the adjacent cylindrical members. This is achieved (i) by removing an amorphous silicon originally grown layer or (ii) by suppressing the function of the originally grown layer.
