Abstract

In accordance with the invention a rough overlayer, e.g., a tungsten film, is used to define a plurality of pillars in a polysilicon electrode layer. This increases the surface area of the polysilicon electrode and thus increases capacitance of a capacitor incorporating the electrode layer in a DRAM cell.
