Abstract

A method of manufacturing a cylindrical storage node in a semiconductor device, in which loss differences of the cylindrical storage node between the center and the edge of cell areas, caused by an etch-back process of storage node isolation, is minimized, thereby maintaining uniform electrical capacitances over the entire area of a semiconductor wafer.
