section and a crown-shaped section, said stem-shaped
section lying within said storage node contact window
and in electrical communication with said conductive
region of said substrate and extending above said
insulating layer, said crown-shaped section
electrically connected to and overlying said stem-
shaped section;
d) a storage electrode enlarging layer conformably
covering and in electrical communication with selected
portions of said crown-shaped section of said storage
electrode and that portion of said stem-shaped section
of said storage electrode that extends above said
insulating layer, and overlying the portion of said
insulating layer that lies beneath said crown-shaped
section of said storage electrode;
e) a dielectric layer conformably covering said
storage electrode and said storage electrode enlarging
layer; and
f) a conductive layer covering said dielectric
layer and forming a plate electrode capacitively-
coupled to said storage electrode and said storage
electrode enlarging layer.
