  • Patent number: 11854632
    Abstract: A semiconductor memory structure includes a substrate having thereon a transistor forming region and a capacitor forming region. A transistor is disposed on the substrate within the transistor forming region. A capacitor is disposed within the capacitor forming region and electrically coupled to the transistor. A first inter-layer dielectric layer covers the transistor forming region and the capacitor forming region. The first inter-layer dielectric layer surrounds a metal gate of the transistor and a bottom plate of the capacitor. A cap layer is disposed on the first inter-layer dielectric layer. The cap layer has a first thickness within the transistor forming region and a second thickness within the capacitor forming region. The first thickness is greater than the second thickness. The cap layer within the capacitor forming region acts as a capacitor dielectric layer of the capacitor.
