[0062] like Figure 7 to Figure 13 As shown, this embodiment provides a method for manufacturing a three-dimensional capacitor structure, and the manufacturing method includes the following steps:

[0063] like Figure 7 As shown, step 1) is first performed to provide a conductive substrate 201 , and a stacked structure 30 is formed on the conductive substrate 201 . The stacked structure 30 includes conductive layers 301 and sacrificial layers 302 that are alternately stacked.

[0064] The conductive substrate 201 may be a doped semiconductor material, such as doped polysilicon, etc. A stacked structure 30 may be formed on the conductive substrate 201 by, for example, a chemical vapor deposition process, and the thickness ratio of the sacrificial layer 302 to the conductive layer 301 is between 0.5 and 2, for example, the thickness ratio of the sacrificial layer 302 to the conductive layer 301 may be 1:1, etc.

The resistivity of the conductive layer 301 is less than 10 ohm*m, and the conductive layer 301 includes one of doped polysilicon, W, Ti, TiN, Ta, TaN and Al. The sacrificial layer 302 and the conductive layer 301 have a high etching selectivity in the same etching process, such as greater than 10:1, specifically 20:1, etc.

[0066] like Figure 8 As shown, step 2) is then performed to form a conductive support column 303 in the conductive substrate 201 and the stacked structure 30 , wherein the conductive support column 303 connects the conductive layer 301 and the conductive substrate 201 .

[0067] Specifically, a through hole may be formed in the stacked structure 30 by using a photolithography process and an etching process, the through hole is connected to the conductive substrate, and then a metal material is filled in the through hole by a deposition process, and finally a chemical mechanical polishing process is used to remove the metal material on the surface to form the conductive support column 303, the conductive support column 303 connects the conductive layer 301 and the conductive substrate 201, and the conductive support column 303 has the function of supporting the conductive layer 301 after the subsequent removal of the sacrificial layer 302 to avoid the collapse of the conductive layer 301, and the function of the conductive support column 303 is to support the conductive layer 301 after the subsequent removal of the sacrificial layer 302 to avoid the collapse of the conductive layer 301, and to be used for the electrical connection between the conductive layer 301 and the conductive substrate 201. The metal material may preferably be tungsten (W).

[0068] like Fig. 9 and Fig.10 As shown, step 3 is then performed to etch a groove 304 in the stack structure 30 . The groove 304 isolates the stack structure 30 into a plurality of fin-shaped stack units 31 . Each of the fin-shaped stack units 31 includes at least one conductive support column 303 .

[0069] For example, a photolithography process and an etching process can be used to etch a groove 304 in the stack structure 30, and the groove 304 isolates the stack structure 30 into a plurality of fin-shaped stack units 31. Each of the fin-shaped stack units 31 includes at least one conductive support column 303, so as to facilitate the subsequent support of the conductive layer 301 of each fin-shaped stack unit 31. Of course, each of the fin-shaped stack units 31 can also include a plurality of conductive support columns 303, which can be selected according to the size of the fin-shaped stack unit 31, the required electrical requirements, etc. The fin-shaped stack units 31 are arranged in a periodic array, such as a hexagonal array, etc. Fig.10 As shown, the top view shape of the fin-shaped stacking unit 31 can be circular, polygonal, etc.

For example, the thickness ratio of the cavity layer 305 to the conductive layer 301 may be 1:1, etc.

[0081] The resistivity of the conductive layer 301 is less than 10 ohm*m, and the conductive layer 301 includes one of doped polysilicon, W, Ti, TiN, Ta, TaN and Al. The rough conductive structure 601 on the surface of the conductive layer 301 can effectively improve the conductivity of the conductive layer surface and increase the surface area of ​​the conductive layer, thereby increasing the capacitance value of the capacitor, and can also increase the bonding strength between the capacitor dielectric layer and the conductive layer, thereby improving the mechanical properties of the capacitor.
