  • Patent number: 11889677
    Abstract: A method for forming capacitor holes is provided. By forming a first material layer and a second material layer which are thinner and are different in materials on a supporting layer as an over-etching depth adjusting layer, when etching holes are formed in a hard mask layer and the hard mask layer is over-etched, a certain over-etching depth may be formed in the second material layer, and the etching holes terminate in the first material layer, so that the etching depth of the etching holes can be corrected and adjusted. Accordingly, the etching holes formed after the hard mask layer is over-etched can have the same depth or have a small depth difference. Therefore, time points at which the plurality of capacitors holes formed expose the corresponding connecting pads are substantially the same or differ very little, improving the performance of the DRAM.
