    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method for fabricating DRAM devices with cylinder-type stacked capacitors. By utilizing offsetting of a first lattice pattern on a second silicon nitride layer (i.e., a middle silicon nitride layer) and a second lattice pattern on a third silicon nitride layer (i.e., a top silicon nitride layer), a collapse or deformation phenomenon of bottom electrodes of stacked capacitors can be reduced or eliminated. The wobbling phenomenon of bottom electrodes of stacked capacitors can be significantly reduced.

    Abstract: A method of forming a semiconductor structure includes the following steps. A dielectric layer is formed over a conductive line. A photoresist layer is formed over the dielectric layer. The photoresist layer is patterned to form a mask feature and an opening is defined by the mask feature. The opening has a bottom portion and a top portion communicated to the bottom portion, and the top portion is wider than the bottom portion. The dielectric layer is etched to form a via hole in the dielectric layer using the mask feature as an etch mask, such that the via hole has a bottom portion and a tapered portion over the bottom portion. The conductive material is filled in the via hole to form a conductive via.
