Abstract

A capacitor and a method of manufacturing a capacitor which includes the steps of sequentially forming an insulating layer and an etch stop layer over a semiconductor substrate; selectively etching the etch stop layer and the insulating layer to form a contact hole; forming a plug within the contact hole; forming a pillar on the etch stop layer adjacent to the plug and on the plug; forming a dielectric layer at the sides of the pillar; removing the pillar and forming a conductive layer over the dielectric layer; and forming an insulating layer over the conductive layer and etching the insulating layer and the conductive layer to expose the upper portion of the dielectric layer.
