Abstract

A DRAM includes a MOSFET and a stacked capacitor in each memory cell. The stacked capacitor includes a bottom electrode substantially of a cylindrical shape, a top electrode received in the cylindrical-shape bottom electrode, and a capacitor dielectric film for insulation therebetween. The cylindrical shape of the bottom electrode allows a larger deviation for alignment between the capacitor and the capacitor contact.
