ABSTRACT:
A method includes forming an amorphous carbon layer over a first dielectric layer formed over a substrate, forming a second dielectric layer over the amorphous carbon layer; and forming an opening within the amorphous carbon layer and second dielectric layer by a first etch process to partially expose a top surface of the first dielectric layer. A substantially conformal metal-containing layer is formed over the second dielectric layer and within the opening. The second dielectric layer and a portion of the metal-containing layer are removed. The amorphous carbon layer is removed by an oxygen-containing plasma process to expose a top surface of the first dielectric layer. An insulating layer is formed over the metal-containing layer, and a second metal-containing layer is formed over the insulating layer to form a capacitor.
