Abstract

A method for forming a capacitor containing selective hemispherical grained (S-HSG) polysilicon is disclosed. In this invention, dopant implantation is incorporated after the S-HSG growth to replace conventional wet clean procedure. The elimination of the cleaning treatments avoids the incidents of residue particles (due to cleaning) and minimizes numerous structure defects. The incorporation of the ion implantation technique would make up the insufficiency of doping requirement by applying in-diffusion alone. The combination of the in-diffusion and the implantation for doping procedure could maintain the device with good capacitance level even though the pre-clean procedure is excluded.
