Abstract

A dielectric film (110) is formed overlying a semiconductor device substrate (10). A dielectric post (204) having an outer peripheral boundary having sidewalls is formed over the dielectric film (110). A first conductive film (402) is deposited at least along the sidewalls of the dielectric post (204) to form a lower electrode. A capacitor dielectric film (1801) is deposited on the first conductive film, and a upper electrode (1802) is formed on the capacitor dielectric film (1801).
