Abstract

A method for fabricating a capacitor of a semiconductor device, and a capacitor made in accordance with the method are disclosed. The method includes forming a plate electrode polysilicon layer on a semiconductor substrate having a cell array region and a core/peripheral circuit region. The plate electrode polysilicon layer in the cell array region is patterned to form an opening, wherein the inner wall of the opening is used as a plate electrode. After forming a dielectric layer in the opening, a storage node is formed as a spacer on the dielectric layer on the inner wall of the opening. The plate electrode polysilicon layer in the core/peripheral circuit region remains to provide the same height between the cell array region where the cell capacitor is formed and the core/peripheral circuit region.
