Abstract

There is provided a method of fabricating an analog capacitor using a post-treatment technique. The method includes forming a lower insulating layer on a semiconductor substrate. A bottom electrode is formed on the lower insulating layer, and a capacitor dielectric layer is formed on the bottom electrode. Then, the capacitor dielectric layer is post-treated in a deoxidizing medium. Then, the post-treated capacitor dielectric layer is post-treated in an oxidizing medium. A top electrode is formed on the post-treated capacitor dielectric layer. The analog capacitor fabricated through the post-treatment as above has a low VCC.
