Abstract

A dual-sided HSG capacitor and a method of fabrication are disclosed. A thin native oxide layer is formed between a doped polycrystalline layer and a layer of hemispherical grained polysilicon (HSG) as part of a dual-sided lower capacitor electrode. Prior to the dielectric formation, the lower capacitor electrode may be optionally annealed to improve capacitance.
