Abstract

A DRAM cell capacitor having a high capacitance is obtained by forming a lower capacitor electrode of TiN and a roughened tungsten film on the TiN layer. A high dielectric constant film, such as tantalum pentaoxide, is then provided on the tungsten film and an upper capacitor electrode is deposited on the dielectric film. A method of forming the roughened tungsten film includes the step of depositing tungsten on the TiN layer at a temperature in the range of 200-650° C.
