Patent ID: 6960513

Claim:
A method of forming a capacitor including: forming a recess in a substrate assembly, wherein the recess extends to first surface of an interconnect embedded within the substrate assembly; forming a non-smooth mold in the recess and on the first surface of the interconnect; removing a portion of the non-smooth mold from the first surface of the interconnect; forming a first electrode in the recess of the substrate assembly on the non-smooth mold and the first surface of the interconnect, wherein the first electrode is selected from a group consisting of transition metals, conductive metal-oxides, alloys thereof, and combinations thereof, and wherein the first electrode extends above an uppermost surface of the substrate assembly; forming a dielectric on the first electrode and the uppermost surface of the substrate assembly; heating the dielectric in the presence of an oxygen-containing ambient; and forming a second electrode on the dieletric and the uppermost surface of the substrate assembly, wherein the first and second electrodes each include a non-smooth surface.
