Description of the invention () The invention of Cheng Cheng: This invention relates to a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device, especially a method for forming a dynamic random access memory (DRAM) memory cell. The invention relates to a method for forming a DRAM memory cell capacitance. The threat of the invention: In recent years, the development of semiconductor devices is to integrate many components on one chip. 'High-density memory cells have been developed, especially dynamic random access memory (DRAM) has been developed towards high-density packaging. DRAM is widely used in computer technology, and has been manufactured using high-density integrated circuit technology. The industry has grown from 16K-bit capacity DRAM to higher than 64M-bit capacity DRAM. Traditionally, DRAM memory cells are used to store computer data. This is printed by the Consumer Cooperatives of the Central Standards Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs (please read the precautions on the back before filling in the page line! Semiconductor memory components have large capacitance to read Output and store information, because it can only temporarily retain information even if the power is continuously supplied, so Wenyan & Yaishi is dynamic random access memory (DRAM); therefore, the memory must be read every period β period And charging. A integrated circuit DRAM element has traditionally been a guest. It is also a coincidence. In fact, a memory cell provides a bit to be stored in dram-/ φ — 1 o'clock.

Description of the invention A memory cell traditionally contains a storage capacitor and a ^ pass transistor. One of the source or drain is connected to one end of the valley, and the other end of the transistor channel and the transistor's question terminal are connected to the external circuit as a bit line and a word line, respectively. word line). The other end of Lei Liukong Baogu is connected to a reference voltage. The formation of DRAM memory cells includes the production of transistors, capacitors, and external circuits. In order to obtain high-density dram components, the memory cell size must be reduced to the sub-micron range. Reduction in capacitance area leads to reduction in memory cell capacity. Previous technologies have developed stack i. Capacitors to almost overcome these problems. Tuan has applied for a capacitor with a rugged surface to increase the capacitance area (US Patent No. 5,266'14). Amorphous pieces are tempered at about 875 degrees Celsius to roughen their surface. Another type of capacitor is also referred to as a trench capacitor. One of the previous technologies is related to each other: see US Patent No. 5.374,580.
