Referring to fig. 10, a method of fabricating a semiconductor structure includes: a substrate 100 is provided.
Wherein, an insulating material is formed on the surface of the substrate 100 or the substrate 100 itself is an insulating material, so that the influence of unstable electrical signals on the semiconductor structure in contact with the substrate 100 to affect the electrical performance of the semiconductor structure can be avoided.
Referring to fig. 11, in some embodiments, an electrical connection layer 108 may be formed on the substrate 100.

Referring to fig. 12 to 14, a first electrode 102 is formed on a substrate 100, and the first electrode 102 encloses a through hole extending in a direction away from the substrate 100.
Specifically, referring to fig. 14, the first electrodes 102 may be formed independently on the electrical connection layer 108 of the substrate 100, and the bottom surface of the first electrode 102 facing the substrate 100 is in contact with the electrical connection layer 108. Therefore, the first electrode 102 is directly led out through the electrical connection layer 108 without adding other lead layers, which saves space and is beneficial to reducing the size of the semiconductor structure. In addition, the shape of the through hole can refer to the corresponding description of the foregoing embodiments, and is not repeated herein.
With continued reference to fig. 12-14, in some embodiments, the step of forming the first electrode 102 may further include: forming an insulating film on the substrate 100, and having a groove penetrating the thickness of the insulating film in the insulating film; a first electrode 102 is formed, the first electrode 102 being located at the bottom and sidewalls of the recess. The groove in the insulating film defines the position of the first electrode 102, and under the assistance and support of the insulating film, the first electrode 102 of the columnar capacitor with larger capacitance capacity is obtained by forming a conductive material on the side wall and the bottom of the groove. Also, the material of the insulating film may be silicon oxide.
Specifically, an insulating film may be first formed on the electrical connection layer 108 of the substrate 100 by deposition, and the thickness of the insulating film may be determined according to the height of the desired pillar-shaped capacitance. Then, a groove is formed on the insulating film by photolithography, etching, and the like, and the bottom of the groove exposes a portion of the top surface of the electrical connection layer 108. Also, the groove formed here may be a circular hole-shaped groove extending toward the substrate 100.

Then, a layer of conductive material is formed on the surface of the electrical connection layer 108 exposed at the bottom of the groove, the side wall of the groove, and the top surface of the insulating film as the first electrode 102, and the conductive material on the top surface of the insulating film is removed by maskless etching, thereby forming the first electrodes 102 independent of each other. In addition, the first electrode 102 may be formed by an atomic layer deposition process.
In some embodiments, the first electrode 102 may also be obtained by covering the via hole with photoresist and removing the first electrode 102 on the top surface of the insulating film. Note that, at this time, the first electrode 102 at the bottom of the via is not consumed by etching under the coverage of the photoresist, and thus remains on the electrical connection layer 108 in the via.
Referring to fig. 15 to 20, after the first electrode 102 is formed, a second electrode 104 and a capacitor dielectric layer 103 are further formed. The second electrode 104 is at least located in the through hole, the capacitor dielectric layer 103 is located between the first electrode 102 and the second electrode 104, the capacitor dielectric layer 103 and the first electrode 102 form a capacitor structure 110.

The method of forming the capacitor dielectric layer 103 and the second electrode 104 is described in detail by the following embodiments.
Referring to fig. 15 to 16, in some embodiments, the remaining insulating film may be used as the insulating layer 101, and thereafter, the capacitor dielectric layer 103 is formed, the capacitor dielectric layer 103 being located at the bottom and the sidewall of the via hole; and forming a second electrode 104 layer, wherein the second electrode 104 layer is positioned on the surface of the capacitance medium layer 103 and fills the through hole. The remaining insulating film is left as the insulating layer 101, and can function as a support when forming the second electrode 104 opposing the inner sidewall of the through-hole.
Specifically, a capacitor dielectric layer 103 is formed on the top surface of the insulating layer 101 away from the substrate 100, the sidewall, the top surface and the bottom of the via hole formed by the first electrode 102. Then, a second electrode 104 is formed on the capacitor dielectric layer 103, and the second electrode 104 fills the via hole formed in the capacitor dielectric layer 103. And removing the second electrode 104 on the capacitor dielectric layer 103 on the top surfaces of the insulating layer 101 and the first electrode 102 by using a planarization process and taking the capacitor dielectric layer 103 as a planarization stop layer to obtain the second electrode 104 which is flush with the top surface of the capacitor dielectric layer 103.
