ABSTRACT:
A method for forming a cylindrical stack capacitor structure. A semiconductor substrate is provided. Storage node structures are formed in a memory cell region. A dielectric layer is formed overlying the storage node structures. A patterning and a first etching process expose the storage nodes. A polysilicon layer and a rugged polysilicon layer are formed overlying the exposed storage nodes. The memory cell region is masked, exposing a peripheral region. A chemical dry etch process removes the rugged polysilicon and the polysilicon layers in the peripheral region. The rugged polysilicon and the polysilicon layers are planarized followed by a dielectric recess. The resulting cylindrical stack capacitor structures are substantially free of defects from rugged polysilicon remaining in the peripheral region thereby improving device yield and process window.
