摘要： Container capacitor structure and method of construction. An etch mask and etch are used to expose portions of an exterior surface of an electrode (“bottom electrodes”) of the structure. The etch provides a recess between proximal pairs of container capacitor structures, which is available for forming additional capacitance. A capacitor dielectric and top electrode are formed on and adjacent to, respectively, both an interior surface and portions of the exterior surface of the first electrode. Surface area common to both the first electrode and second electrodes is increased over using only the interior surface, providing additional capacitance without decreasing spacing for clearing portions of the capacitor dielectric and the second electrode away from a contact hole location. Clearing of the capacitor dielectric and the second electrode portions may be done at an upper location of a substrate assembly in contrast to clearing at a bottom location of a contact via.

摘要： Method for forming at least a portion of a top electrode of a container capacitor and at least a portion of a contact plug in one deposition are described. In one embodiment, the top electrode is formed interior to a bottom electrode of the container capacitor. In another embodiment, the top electrode is formed interior to, and exterior and below a portion of the bottom electrode of the container capacitor. The method of forming a top electrode of a container capacitor and a contact plug with a same deposition is particularly well-suited for high-density memory array formation.
