    Abstract: A method of forming semiconductor memory device, the semiconductor memory device includes a substrate, plural gates, plural cell plugs, a capacitor structure and a stacked structure. The gates are disposed in the substrate, and the cell plugs are disposed on the substrate, to electrically connect the substrate at two sides of each gate. The capacitor structure includes plural capacitors, and each capacitor is electrically connected each cell plug. The stacked structure covers the capacitor structure, and the stacked structure includes a semiconductor layer, a conductive layer on the semiconductor layer and an insulating layer stacked on the conductive layer. Two gaps are defined respectively between a side portion of the insulating layer and a lateral portion of the conductive layer at two sides of the capacitor structure, and the two gaps have different lengths.

    Abstract: A capacitor structure including a semiconductor substrate; a dielectric layer on the semiconductor substrate; a storage node pad in the dielectric layer; a lower electrode including a bottle-shaped bottom portion recessed into the dielectric layer and being in direct contact with the storage node pad; and a lattice layer supporting a topmost part of the lower electrode, wherein the lattice layer is not directly contacting the dielectric layer, but is directly contacting the topmost part of the lower electrode. The bottle-shaped bottom portion extends to a sidewall of the storage node pad. The bottle-shaped bottom portion has a width that is wider than other portion of the lower electrode.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of forming a memory capacitor. A substrate is provided with a plurality of storage node contacts. A patterned supporting structure is formed on the substrate, following by forming a bottom electrode conformally on surface of plural openings in the patterned supporting structure, thereby contacting the storage node contacts. A sacrificial layer is formed in the opening. A soft etching process is performed to remove the bottom electrode on top and partial sidewall of the patterned supporting structure, wherein the soft etching process includes using a fluoride containing compound, a nitrogen and hydrogen containing compound and an oxygen containing compound. The sacrificial layer is completely removed away. A capacitor dielectric layer and a top electrode are formed on the bottom electrode layer.

    Abstract: A method of forming a semiconductor device includes following steps. First of all, plural first openings and plural second openings are sequentially formed on a material layer disposed on a substrate, with the second openings across the first openings to form plural overlapped regions. Then, plural patterns arranged in an array arrangement are formed, with each pattern overlapped each overlapped region, respectively. After that, transferring the first openings, the second openings and the patterns to the material layer, to from plural material patterns in an array arrangement. In another embodiment of the present invention, the first openings and the second openings may be replaced by plural first patterns and plural second patterns, while the patterns are replaced by plural openings.
