Abstract

A method of creating a capacitor over bit line structure, used for high density, DRAM designs, has been developed. The process consists of creating a straight bit line shape, connected to an underlying polysilicon contact plug structure, which in turn contacts an underlying source and drain region. A storage node contact hole is opened through insulator layers and through the straight bit line shape. After passivation of the storage node contact hole with silicon nitride spacers, a storage node structure is formed on an overlying insulator layer, as well as in the storage node contact hole, overlying and contacting another polysilicon contact plug.
