Abstract

A method for manufacturing DRAM cells in a semiconductor wafer including MOS control transistors and capacitors, the source/drain regions and the gates of the control transistors being covered with a protection layer and with an insulating layer, in which the capacitors are formed at the level of openings formed in the insulating layer which extend to the protection layer covering the gates, and in which first capacitor electrodes are connected to source/drain regions of the control transistors by conductive vias crossing the insulating layer and the protection layer.
