Abstract

A method and structure for high capacitance memory cells is provided. The method includes forming a trench capacitor in a semiconductor substrate. A self-structured mask is formed on the interior surface of the trench. The interior surface of the trench is etched to form an array of silicon pillars. The self-structured mask is removed. Then an insulator layer is formed on the array of silicon pillars. A polycrystalline semiconductor plate extends outwardly from the insulator layer in the trench.
