ABSTRACT:
A fabrication method for forming a semiconductor device having a capacitor is provided. A capacitor dielectric layer is formed by depositing a first layer and a second layer. The second layer is a major portion of the capacitor dielectric layer. The first layer acts as a seed layer, while the second layer is expitaxially grown. The material of the second layer as deposited is partially crystal. Nuclear generation and crystal growth occur separately so that the crystalline characteristic of the capacitor dielectric layer and the capacitance characteristic of the capacitor are enhanced. Moreover, the capacitor dielectric layer is crystallized at a relatively low temperature or for a relatively short time, thereby reducing leakage current as well as reducing deformation in the lower electrode. Optionally, The material of the second layer as deposited is not partially crystal but amorphous.
