Abstract

Embodiments relate to a capacitor having a high capacitance, a semiconductor device having the same, and a method for manufacturing the semiconductor device. In embodiments, the capacitor may include a lower electrode having a predetermined pattern, a dielectric layer formed on the lower electrode, and an upper electrode formed on the dielectric layer.

Claims (28)

1. A device comprising:

a lower electrode having a prescribed pattern, wherein the lower electrode comprises a contact auxiliary layer, a lower metal layer, an etch stop layer, and an upper metal layer wherein the contact auxiliary layer comprises a double layer of titanium/titanium nitride;

a dielectric layer formed over the lower electrode; and

an upper electrode formed over the dielectric layer.

2. The device of claim 1 , wherein the dielectric layer and the upper electrode are formed over the pattern.

3. The device of claim 1 , wherein the upper electrode and the lower electrode are configured to face each other along a side and a lower surface of the pattern.

4. The device of claim 1 , wherein the lower metal layer and the upper metal layer comprise aluminum.

5. The device of claim 1 , wherein the etch stop layer comprises titanium.

6. The device of claim 1 , wherein the pattern penetrates the upper metal layer to expose the etch stop layer.

7. The device of claim 1 , wherein the pattern penetrates the upper metal layer and the etch stop layer to expose the lower metal layer.

8. The device of claim 1 , wherein the pattern comprises a plurality of patterns.

9. The device of claim 1 , wherein a width of the pattern ranges from 0.08 μm to 1 μm.

10. The device of claim 1 , wherein the upper electrode comprises a titanium layer and a titanium nitride layer.

11. A device comprising:

a first insulating layer formed over a semiconductor substrate;

a capacitor formed over the first insulating layer;

a metal interconnection formed in a same plane as that of the capacitor and configured to be spaced apart from the capacitor by a prescribed distance; and

a second insulating layer formed between the capacitor and the metal interconnection,

wherein the capacitor comprises a lower electrode, a dielectric layer, and an upper electrode, and a prescribed pattern is formed at the lower electrode and the lower electrode comprises a contact auxiliary layer, a lower metal layer, an etch stop layer, and an upper metal layer wherein the contact auxiliary layer comprises a double layer of titanium/titanium nitride.

12. The device of claim 11 , wherein the dielectric layer and the upper electrode are formed at the pattern.

13. The device of claim 11 , wherein the upper electrode and the lower electrode are configured to face each other along a side and a lower surface of the pattern.

14. The device of claim 11 , wherein the lower metal layer and the upper metal layer comprise aluminum.

15. The device of claim 11 , wherein the etch stop layer comprises titanium.

16. The device of claim 11 , wherein the pattern penetrates the upper metal layer to expose the etch stop layer.

17. The device of claim 11 , wherein the pattern penetrates the upper metal layer and the etch stop layer to expose the lower metal layer.

18. The device of claim 11 , wherein the pattern comprises a plurality of patterns.

19. The device of claim 11 , wherein a width of the pattern ranges from 0.08 μm to 1 μm.

20. The device of claim 11 , wherein the upper electrode comprises a titanium layer and a titanium nitride layer.
