Method for forming semiconductor device

Abstract

A method for manufacturing semiconductor device includes forming an interlayer dielectric layer including a contact plug defined therein to electrically couple a semiconductor substrate on which a cell region and a dummy region are defined. A sacrificial layer is formed over the interlayer dielectric layer. An etch stop pattern is formed over the sacrificial layer, the etch stop pattern being vertically aligned to the dummy region. A storage electrode region through the sacrificial layer is defined to expose a first storage electrode contact of the cell region, the second storage electrode contact of the dummy region remaining covered by the sacrificial layer. A conductive layer is deposited within the storage electrode region to form a storage electrode contacting the first storage electrode contact of the cell region.
