Abstract
The present invention relates to a semiconductor and manufacturing method thereof, in which a nano tube structure is vertically grown to form a lower electrode of a cell region and a via contact of peripheral circuit region. Therefore, capacitance of the lower electrode is secured without an etching process for high aspect ratio. Also, the via contact can be formed for corresponding to the height of the lower electrode.
Claims16
A method of fabricating a semiconductor device, the method comprising:
- forming a bit line and a bit line pad in a cell region and a peripheral region, respectively, over a substrate;
- forming a first metal layer on the bit line and the bit line pad;
- forming an interlayer insulating film over the first metal layer and the substrate;
- etching the interlayer insulating film in the cell region to form a storage node contact hole;
- filling the storage node contact hole with conductive material to form a storage node contact plug in the cell region;
- forming a second metal layer over the storage node contact plug;
- etching the interlayer insulating film in the peripheral region to form a contact hole exposing the first metal layer over the bit line pad;
- growing a nano tube using the second metal layer in the cell region and the exposed first metal layer in the peripheral region as a catalyst to form a lower electrode and a first contact, respectively;
- and
- forming a second contact connected to the first contact in the peripheral region to form a via contact.
