ABSTRACT:
A method for fabricating a semiconductor memory device with a tree-type capacitor having increased area for reliable storage of electrical charges representative of data thereon. The tree-type capacitor includes a storage electrode having a trunk-like conductive layer coupled to at least one branch-like conductive layer, which can be structured in various shapes that allow the branch-like conductive layer to have increased surface area. The branch-like conductive layers are formed by successively depositing at least one insulating layer and at least one conductive layer over the substrate such that the conductive layer makes a series of twists and turns, defining the shape of the branch-like conductive layer. The surface of the built-up wafer is removed until the conductive layer is divided into a number of segments. A contact hole is formed through the conductive layer to a drain/source region of a transistor in the device, and is filled with a conductive layer, forming the trunk-like layer. The insulating material is wet-etched away, leaving the conductive segment attached to the truck-like layer as a branch-like conductive layer. A dielectric layer is formed over exposed surfaces of the trunk-like conductive layer and the branch-like conductive layer, and a further conductive layer is formed overlaying the dielectric layer to serve as an opposing electrode of the tree-type capacitor.
