FIG. 1 toFIG. 7 , which are schematic diagrams illustrating the method of forming a semiconductor integrated device according to a first embodiment of the present invention. Firstly, asubstrate 100 is provided. Thesubstrate 100 can be a silicon substrate, an epitaxial silicon substrate, a silicon germanium substrate, a silicon carbide substrate or a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) substrate, but is not limited thereto. Amemory cell region 200 is defined on thesubstrate 100 to form a memory cell device in the following steps, and acapacitor region 300 is defined on thesubstrate 100 to form a capacitor in the following steps, as shown inFIG. 1 . - Next, a least one shallow trench isolation (STI) is formed in the
substrate 100. In the present embodiment, a firstshallow trench isolation 102 and a secondshallow trench isolation 103 are formed respectively in thesubstrate 100, wherein a portion of theshallow trench isolation 102 surrounds thememory cell region 200 for isolating thememory cell region 200 while theshallow trench isolation 103 is formed in thecapacitor region 300 of thesubstrate 100, but is not limited thereto. In another embodiment, a single shallow trench isolation (not shown in the drawings) may also be formed both in thememory cell region 200 and thecapacitor region 300. - Then, a plurality of semiconductor manufacturing processes is carried out sequentially to form a
memory cell device 210 in thememory cell region 200 and acapacitor 310 in theresistor region 300. In one embodiment, aninsulating layer 104, such as silicon oxide, and afirst polysilicon layer 105, may be firstly formed on theentire substrate 100 sequentially, for example through a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process, an atomic layer deposition (ALD) process or a physical vapor deposition (PVD) process, to cover both of thememory cell region 200 and thecapacitor region 300, but is not limited thereto. In another embodiment, theinsulating layer 104 may also be formed through a thermal oxidation process. - After these, a patterned
mask layer 400 having a plurality ofopenings 402 andopenings 403 is formed on thefirst polysilicon layer 105. Precisely speaking, the formation of thepatterned mask layer 400 may be conducted through a sidewall image transfer (SIT) process, including forming a plurality of patterned sacrificial layers (not shown in the drawings) on a mask material layer (not shown in the drawings), such as a silicon nitride or a silicon oxynitride layer, covered on theentire substrate 100, for example by using a photolithography and etching process, performing a depositing and etching processes sequentially to form a spacer (not shown in the drawings) at sidewalls of each of the patterned sacrificial layers, and then removing the patterned sacrificial layers and performing another etching process by using the spacer as a mask, thereby transferring the patterns of the spacer to the mask material layer underneath. In this way, thepatterned mask layer 400 is formed, and a portion of thememory cell region 200 may be exposed from theopenings 402 and a portion of thecapacitor region 300 may be exposed from theopenings 403 simultaneously, as shown inFIG. 1 . In a preferred embodiment, theopenings 402 may include a plurality of slots (not shown in the drawings) extending along a predetermined direction (e.g. along the Y-axis direction) andopenings 403 may include a plurality of holes (not shown in the drawings), for example in an array arrangement, but is not limited thereto. Also, in another embodiment, the slots of theopening 402 and the holes of the opening 403 may be formed individually through a double patterning or a multiple patterning process, for example using photolithography-photolithography-etch (2P1E) steps, or photolithography-etch-photolithography-etch (2P2E) steps, but is not limited thereto. - In the following, an etching process is carried out by using the
patterned mask layer 400 as a mask, to remove the exposed portions of thefirst polysilicon layer 105 both in thememory cell region 200 and thecapacitor region 300, so that, a plurality of 105 a, 105 b may be formed in theopenings memory cell region 200 and thecapacitor region 300 of thefirst polysilicon layer 105, respectively. In the preferred embodiment of having thepatterned mask layer 400 with slots and holes in thememory cell region 200 and thecapacitor region 300, theopenings 105 a may preferably include a plurality of slots extending along the predetermined direction in thememory cell region 200, and theopenings 105 b may preferably include a plurality of array-arranged holes in thecapacitor region 300, but is not limited thereto.

However, people skilled in the art shall easily realize that the openings formed in thefirst polysilicon layer 105 of the present invention is not limited to be extended through thefirst polysilicon layer 105. In another embodiment, at least two etching processes may be performed to form an opening (not shown in the drawings) which is not completely extending through thepolysilicon layer 105 in thecapacitor region 300. Namely, the opening is completely disposed in thefirst polysilicon layer 105, and a portion offirst polysilicon layer 105 may remain under the opening as a connecting base, such that, an ONO layer (not shown in the drawings) formed subsequently may only contact a portion of thepolysilicon layer 105 exposed from the opening and may not directly contact theinsulating layer 104 underneath. Otherwise, in another embodiment, an opening (not shown in the drawings) penetrated through thepolysilicon layer 105 and theinsulating layer 104 may also be formed both in thecapacitor region 300, so that, an ONO layer (not shown in the drawings) formed subsequently may directly contact theshallow trench isolation 103 in thecapacitor region 300. - Next, a
second polysilicon layer 107 and apatterned mask layer 410 may be formed on thesubstrate 100 sequentially. Precisely, in one embodiment, thesecond polysilicon layer 107 covers theentire ONO layer 106 and fills in the 105 a, 105 b, as shown inopenings FIG. 3 , and thepatterned mask layer 410 covers theentire capacitor region 300 and only a portion of thememory cell region 200, as shown inFIG. 3 . It is noted that, the detailed materials and the forming process of thepatterned mask layer 410 are substantially similar to that of thepatterned mask layer 400 and will not be further detailed herein. - It is noteworthy that, the
