Abstract

A method for fabricating a semiconductor device is provided comprising forming a dual silicon nitride spacer to be an etching step layer during a self-aligned contact etching step. The invention discloses a bottom electrode with a tri-forked structure and a hemispherical grain layer of a capacitor, therefore the capacitor has a larger surface area. So the capacitor made by the invention has a high capacitance even though the planar surface size is reduced continually.
