Abstract

The present invention discloses a method of forming a crown capacitor for a DRAM cell. An etching method having different selectivity between the BPSG and silicon oxynitride layer is applied to form a sacrificial structure with a concanovenex sidewall. Using the sacrificial structure as a mold, a high capacitance crown capacitor is obtained.
