Abstract

Provided is a method for fabricating a capacitor of a semiconductor; and, more particularly, to a method for forming a Ru storage node of a capacitor that can form a stable storage node. The method includes the steps of: a method for forming a ruthenium (Ru) storage node of a semiconductor device, comprising the steps of: etching an insulation layer on a substrate and forming openings; depositing a Ru layer along the profile of the insulation layer and the openings; filling a photoresist in the openings; performing an etching process until the insulation layer between neighboring openings is exposed and forming isolated Ru storage nodes with the Ru layer in the openings; and removing photoresist and polymers with a solution including H2SO4 and H2O2.
