Description of the Invention () Field of the Invention: The present invention relates to a semiconductor process for a dynamic random access memory cell (DRAM cell). A capacitor having a crown structure and a vertical fins structure and a method for manufacturing the capacitor. Printed by the Consumer Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economics Background of the Invention: With the continuous progress of the semiconductor industry, dynamic random access memory (DRAM) components have been widely used in integrated circuits. Generally speaking, dynamic random access memory (DRAM) has many memory cells, and its memory cells are usually composed of capacitors and transistors to store a bit signal. The drain or source of the transistor is connected to one end of the capacitor, and the other end of the capacitor is connected to the reference potential. The other end of the transistor and the gate are connected to the bit line and the word line, respectively. (Word line) connection.

For the memory cells in the dynamic random access memory (dram), the biggest problem is how to increase the storage capacity of the capacitor when the component size tends to shrink and the accumulation level continues to increase. Capacity and increase the reliability of the capacitor. In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, in the manufacture of capacitors, efforts are made to increase the surface area of the bottom electrode of the capacitor, and from this, trench-type capacitors and stacked capacitors have been developed steadily. In addition to using a high-dielectric rhenium film as the capacitor dielectric layer, bottom electrodes such as a crown structure, a fin structure, a spread structure, and a cylindrical structure are formed in order to provide in a limited space.

However, as the memory storage capacity designed by the semiconductor industry increases from 256 Mbits to 1 Gbits, the capacitor structure manufactured in the traditional process often cannot provide sufficient effective storage capacity. In particular, as mentioned above, as the degree of accumulation of semiconductor elements continues to increase, the space occupied by the elements becomes narrower, and the size of the manufactured elements becomes smaller. In this case, when the method provided by the traditional semiconductor manufacturing process is used to define the pattern of the bottom electrode of the capacitor, it is often restricted by the resolution of the lithography technology, and the required fin-like structure cannot be formed in a limited space. Carry out patterns such as structure. As a result, the yield and storage capacity of the capacitors produced are often greatly reduced.
