Abstract

A semiconductor device having a capacitor of an MIM structure and a method of forming the same are described. The semiconductor device includes a semiconductor substrate; a first bottom interconnection formed over the semiconductor substrate; an intermetal dielectric layer formed over the semiconductor substrate; a plurality of openings exposing the first bottom interconnection through the intermetal dielectric layer; a bottom electrode conformally formed on the inside wall of the openings, on the exposed surface of the first bottom interconnection and on the intermetal dielectric layer between the openings; a dielectric layer and an upper electrode sequentially stacked on the bottom electrode; and a first upper interconnection disposed on the upper electrode. According to the present invention, an effective surface area per a unit planar area of a capacitor with an MIM structure is enlarged to increase capacitance thereof.
