Method of fabricating semiconductor device
Abstract
The method includes forming a metal interconnection layer and a first interlayer insulating layer on a semiconductor substrate, forming a reservoir capacitor region by etching the first interlayer insulating layer to expose the metal interconnection layer, forming a barrier metal layer on the reservoir capacitor region, forming a sacrificial insulating layer on the barrier metal layer in a lower portion of the reservoir capacitor region, performing a pre-cleaning process to remove the barrier metal layer on a sidewall of the reservoir capacitor region, and removing the sacrificial insulating layer.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modifiedWhat is claimed is:
1 . A semiconductor device comprising:
a metal interconnection layer provided over a substrate; an lower electrode of a reservoir capacitor provided over the metal interconnection layer; and a barrier metal pattern provided between the metal interconnection layer and the lower electrode, wherein the lower electrode is isolated from the metal interconnection, and wherein the barrier metal pattern is configured to couple the lower reservoir capacitor to the metal interconnection.
2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the barrier metal pattern extends up to a level higher than an upper surface of the metal interconnection layer.
3 . The semiconductor device of claim 1 ,
wherein the lower electrode of the reservoir capacitor is provided in a peripheral region of the semiconductor substrate.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
