Abstract

A method of fabricating a semiconductor device comprises the steps of: (a) forming a mask layer over an upper surface of a semiconductor substrate such that the mask layer has an aperture penetrating the mask layer and having an inclined lateral wall so as to make the aperture inverted taper shaped; (b) forming a first dielectric layer at a first area over the upper surface of the semiconductor substrate within the aperture by sputtering at a first sputtering incidence direction; and (c) forming a first electrode layer at a second area over the upper surface of the semiconductor substrate within the aperture by sputtering at a second sputtering incidence direction which is different from the first sputtering incidence direction.
