Abstract

A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device including forming a gate oxide layer, a first conductive layer, a capacitor dielectric layer, and a second conductive layer on a semiconductor substrate. The method also includes patterning the first and second conductive layers, the gate oxide layer, and the field oxide layer so as to form a gate pattern and a capacitor pattern; selectively wet-etching the first and second conductive layer so as to project out an outward part of the capacitor dielectric layer; implanting ions into the semiconductor substrate using the gate pattern and the protruding portion of the capacitor dielectric layer as an implantation mask; and removing the protruding portion of the capacitor dielectric layer so that the patterned capacitor dielectric layer has the same width as the gate electrode and the first capacitor electrode.
