    Abstract: Making an integrated circuit with first (78) and second (76) level conductor structures comprises: (a) providing a substrate (50) with integrated circuit device(s); (b) providing an interlayer dielectric layer (52) over the substrate; (c) providing an etch stop layer (54) over it; (d) patterning the etch stop layer to define openings corresponding to positions where first level conductor structures are to be formed; (e) providing an intermetallic dielectric layer (58) over the patterned etch stop layer; (f) forming a second level mask over the intermetallic dielectric layer; this mask having openings corresponding to positions where second level conductor structures are to be formed; (g) etching through the openings in the second level mask to form second level conductor openings in the intermetallic dielectric layer; (h) etching through the openings in the patterned etch stop layer to form first level conductor openings in the interlayer dielectric layer; the edges of the openings have a tapered configuration; they provide for a step-free transition with the second level conductor openings; and (i) depositing metal into the first and second level conductor openings.

    Abstract: A method of providing increased capacitance to a charge storage structure in an integrated circuit comprises providing an access circuit, in and on a substrate, which controls access to an electrode of the structure through an electrode contact. A first conductive layer is provided over the substrate and connected to the electrode contact, and a layer of dielectric material is provided over the conductive layer. A layer of grains of polysilicon is provided over the layer of dielectric material so as to leave uncovered portions between the grains, which are selectively removed to form spaced apart columns of dielectric material extending above the first conductive layer. A conformal second conductive layer is provided over the columns followed by a capacitor dielectric layer and a third conductive layer.
