Abstract

A method for forming a dynamic random access memory with increased capacitance includes preparing (36) ultra-fine particles in a microemulsion. The particles are deposited (38) on the lower electrode layer of the memory cell. A micro-villus pattern is then formed (40) on the lower electrode layer, using the particles as a mask. A layer of HSG polysilicon may then be deposited (42) on the micro-villus pattern. A dielectric and upper electrode are then formed (44) overlying the lower electrode to form a storage capacitor for the dynamic random access memory.
