A method for manufacturing a capacitor in a semiconductor device for securing capacitance without a merging phenomenon during a MPS grain growth process. The manufacturing step begins with a preparation of a substrate. The interlayer dielectric (ILD) layer is formed on the substrate and is etched to form conductive plug. Then, an etch barrier layer and a sacrifice insulating layer are formed on entire surface subsequently. A cylinder typed first electrode is formed over the conductive plug using the sacrifice insulating layer. Thereafter, first meta-stable poly silicon (MPS) grains are formed on inner wall of the first electrode except a bottom region thereof. However, second MPS grains with small sizes can be formed in the bottom region for increasing a storage area of the first electrode. Finally, a dielectric layer and a second electrode are formed on the first electrode subsequently.
