    摘要: A semiconductor integrated circuit fabrication method is provided for forming a capacitor on a semiconductor integrated circuit substrate. A lower capacitor electrode is formed over the semiconductor integrated circuit substrate and a capacitor dielectric is formed over the lower capacitor electrode. The capacitor dielectric is preferably formed of silicon nitride. A reoxidation anneal of the capacitor dielectric is performed at a pressure greater than one atmosphere in order to form an oxide layer over the capacitor dielectric. An upper capacitor electrode is disposed over the oxide layer to form a capacitor. The capacitor is formed as part of a dynamic random access memory cell. A transistor is formed upon the semiconductor integrated circuit substrate and the lower capacitor electrode is formed in electrical contact with a diffusion region of the transistor. The capacitor is formed within an opening in molding material that is deposited over the surface of the semiconductor integrated circuit substrate. The reoxidization anneal of the capacitor dielectric is performed at a temperature in the range of 600.degree. C. to 800.degree. C. at pressures ranging up to twenty-five atmospheres. This forms an oxide layer having a thickness between five angstroms and fifteen angstroms in a period of time short enough to prevent excessive out diffusion of dopants from the diffusion regions of the transistor.

At least some of the external surface is provided to be rougher than at least some of the internal container surface. A capacitor dielectric layer and an outer capacitor plate layer are formed over at least portions of the internal and the external surfaces of the capacitor container. In another implementation, a layer comprising roughened polysilicon is formed over at least some of the external container surface but not over any of the internal container surface.
