[[abstract]]A method for forming a DRAM capacitor whose titanium nitride electrode is fabricated in a sequence of steps that results in a good step-coverage. Moreover, contamination of the titanium nitride layer and cross-diffusion between the titanium nitride layer and the dielectric film layer is reduced to a minimum. The method of forming the titanium nitride layer includes the steps of depositing a first titanium nitride layer over a dielectric film layer using a conventional physical vapor deposition process. Then, a second titanium nitride layer is deposited over the first titanium nitride layer using a collimated physical vapor deposition process.[[fileno]]2020309060050[[department]]材料科學工程學
