Abstract: A capacitor having a cylindrical shape is increased in capacitance, and a high-resistance region is prevented from being formed in a lower electrode. A semiconductor device includes a capacitor formed to have a cylindrical shape. The semiconductor device includes an insulating film formed over a substrate, a lower electrode formed to have a cylindrical shape, and including a first metal film which is not formed at a bottom portion in a depressed portion provided in the insulating film, but is selectively formed at a sidewall therein and a second metal film which is formed over the bottom portion in the depressed portion and over the first metal film at the sidewall therein, a capacitive film formed over the lower electrode, and an upper electrode formed over the capacitive film.

Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a first inverter, a second inverter, and an inner wiring connecting the inverters, in which the inner wiring forms a capacitor element, and the capacitor element includes an interlayer insulation film having an aperture on a semiconductor substrate, a lower electrode covering a bottom wall and a side wall of the aperture, the bottom wall being the semiconductor substrate and the side wall being a part of the interlayer insulation film, a capacitor insulation film arranged on the lower electrode and a part of the interlayer insulation film, the capacitor insulation film covering corners of the capacitor insulation film, the corners being situated at opposite side of the semiconductor substrate, and an upper electrode on the capacitor insulation film, the upper electrode covering the aperture.

Abstract: A structure and a manufacturing method of a semiconductor device composed of 1T1Cs, in which a surface area of a memory cell capacitor part is expanded by forming an uneven surface at the memory cell capacitor part, is provided. Further, an additional photo lithography process is not required at expanding the surface area, and the manufacturing efficiency is not decreased. At the manufacturing method of the semiconductor device, two kinds of spaces whose sizes are different are formed in a conductive layer by that a part of a first oxide film and a part of the conductive layer to its middle part are removed. After this, a second oxide film is formed on the whole surface so that a small space of the spaces is filled with the second oxide film and side walls are formed on the side surfaces of a large space by applying etching back. With this, an exposed part of the conductive layer is formed selectively, and this exposed part of the conductive layer is removed by the etching.

Abstract: In a semiconductor memory having a number of stacked capacitor memory cells each having a cylindrical lower electrode which is in the form of a cylinder having an open top and a closed bottom, an upper end of a partition, which is formed of an insulating material between adjacent cylindrical lower electrodes, has an sharpened tip end and an inclined surface descending from the sharpened tip end toward each adjacent cylindrical lower electrode. With this arrangement, it is possible to prevent silicon grains of a hemi-spherical grain silicon from nidating on the partition, thereby prevent a short-circuiting between the adjacent cylindrical lower electrodes, without reducing the capacitance of the memory cell.
