A method includes forming a stack including a first sacrificial layer, a first supporting layer, a second sacrificial layer, and a second supporting layer over a substrate; forming first and second trenches; forming bottom electrodes in the first and second trenches; forming a patterned mask over the stack, in which the patterned mask has an opening exposing the stack; performing an etch process to the stack through the opening of the patterned mask, in which the etch process etches through a first portion of the stack to form a recess, while a second portion of the stack laterally between the first trench and the second trench is protected by a polymer generated during performing the etch process; removing the first and second sacrificial layers from the stack; forming capacitor dielectric layers over the bottom electrodes; and forming top electrodes over the capacitor dielectric layers.
A method for forming a memory device, comprising:
The method ofclaim 1, wherein the polymer is formed on surfaces of the bottom electrodes during performing the etching process.
The method ofclaim 1,wherein a portion of the second supporting layer of the second portion of the stack is etched during the etch process.
A method for forming a memory device, comprising:
The method ofclaim 15, wherein removing the polymer further comprises removing the first portion of the second supporting layer.
