  • Patent number: 12062690
    Abstract: A method for forming a capacitor array structure includes the following operations. A base is formed, which includes a substrate, a stack structure located on the substrate and a mask layer located on the stack structure in which an etching window that penetrates the mask layer in a direction perpendicular to the substrate is provided. The stack structure is etched along the etching window to form a capacitor hole that penetrates the stack structure along the direction perpendicular to the substrate. A conductive layer that fills up the capacitor hole and the etching window and covers a top surface of the mask layer is formed. The conductive layer and the mask layer at a top surface of the stack structure are removed, and the conductive layer remaining in the capacitor hole forms a lower electrode.
