Abstract

A dynamic random access memory (DRAM) storage cell having a storage contact capacitor comprising a tungsten and TiN storage node capacitor plate and the method for fabricating the same. At least a portion of the storage node capacitor plate is formed vertically in the DRAM. The TiN is controllably etched to increase the area of the storage node capacitor plate. An upper poly layer functions as the cell plate and is insulated from the storage node capacitor plate by a dielectric layer.
