Abstract
A method for fabricating a stack capacitor to be used for a highly integrated semiconductor device such as a DRAM of 64 mega grade or greater. Using the characteristic that a selective oxide film is likely to be deposited only over an oxide film and a good step coverage characteristic of polysilicon film, the stack capacitor is fabricated to have wing structures of a right 90.degree.-inverted U shape and a left 90.degree.-inverted U shape respectively at opposite ends of its storage electrode. These wing structures result in an increase in the surface area of the storage electrode.

A method for fabricating a stack capacitor of a semiconductor device, comprising the steps of:
- forming a first oxide film for a planarization over a substrate, depositing a first nitride film over the first oxide film, and then forming a capacitor contact hole in the resulting structure obtained after the deposition of the first nitride film;
- depositing a doped, first polysilicon film over the entire exposed surface of the resulting structure obtained after the formation of the contact hole such that the polysilicon film fills the contact hole, and then sequentially depositing a second nitride film and a second oxide film over the first polysilicon film;
- sequentially etching the second oxide film, the second nitride film and the first polysilicon film by a lithography process using a storage electrode mask, thereby forming a pattern constituted by the films left after the etching;
- thickly growing a selective, third oxide film over the second oxide film;
- depositing a doped, second polysilicon film over the entire exposed surface of the resulting structure obtained after the growth of the third oxide film;
- etching the second polysilicon film using a blanket dry etch, thereby forming patterns of the second polysilicon film respectively on side walls of the pattern of the first polysilicon film and second nitride film;
- removing the third oxide film and the second oxide film;
- removing the second nitride film and the first nitride film;
- and
- forming a dielectric film over a storage electrode constituted by the pattern of the first polysilicon film and the patterns of the second polysilicon film, and then forming a plate electrode over the dielectric film.

- depositing a doped, second polysilicon film over the entire exposed surface of the resulting structure obtained after the removal of the photoresist film, and then etching the second polysilicon film using a dry etch, thereby forming patterns of the second polysilicon film respectively on side walls of the pattern of the first polysilicon film and second oxide film;
- removing the third oxide film and the second oxide film and simultaneously forming undercuts beneath the patterns of the first and second polysilicon films;
