ABSTRACT:
A trench capacitor structure suitable for inclusion in integrated circuit devices and method for forming the same provides increased electrode surface area and capacitance by means of a textured surface of one of the capacitor electrodes. The textured surface is achieved by differentially etching grain boundaries of a doped polysilicon layer or by direct deposition of hemispherical grain polysilicon to form the electrode. Additional capacitance and contact area can be obtained by additional etching of the trench bottom prior to electrode deposition and dielectric growth.
