    摘要: A charge amplifying memory cell and its method of making based on trench technology. A trench is formed which reaches through an n-type well region (32) to a p⁺-type substrate (30). A triple layer (36, 38, 40) is formed on two sidewalls of the trench consisting of two capacitive insulating layers and a intermediate p⁺ polysilicon layer. The trench is then at least partially filled with a conductor, such as polysilicon (42), facing the triple layer. Thereby, the intermediate polysilicon layer acts as a charge storage node with capacitance to both the substrate and the polysilicon filling the trench. The insulating layer facing the well is opened with a contact hole near its top so that a p⁺ transistor drain (44) is formed in the adjacent well by diffusion from the polysilicon through the contact hole. A p⁺ transistor source (50) is doped into the well with a gate region between it and the drain to provide a write transistor. A p+ region (46) is also formed adjacent a sidewall of the trench other than the one containing the contact hole so that a read transistor is vertically formed in the n-type well between it and the substrate. The intermediate p⁺ polysilicon layer acts as the electrode of this read transistor, whereby stored charge is amplified by the read transistor.

    摘要: A one-device shared trench memory cell, in which the polysilicon (22,24) and dielectric layers (26,26A) within the trench (20) extend above the surface of the trench to form a mandrel structure. A layer of polysilicon is conformably deposited on the mandrel structure. Dopant ions are diffused from the doped polysilicon within the trench to the conformal polysilicon layer, and from the conformal polysilicon layer to a portion of the substrate disposed thereunder (36). The conformal polysilicon is etched in a solvent that preferentially attacks undoped polysilicon, to provide a bridge contact (30) that is self-aligned to the polysilicon within the trench and to the diffusion region. A plurality of FETs formed on either side of the trench, by use of a sidewall-defined gate electrode (34) to maximize density. The cell produces a "poly-to-poly" and "poly-to-substrate" storage capacitor combination that maximizes charge storage capability.

    摘要: A memory array is provided which includes a common sense line (SL) to which is connected first and second series of cells, each cell of each series includes a storage capacitor (C), switching means (T) and a bit line (BL) connected to a plate of the storage capacitor (C), with a common word line (WL) connected to the control electrodes of each of the switching means. The switching means, preferably field effect transistors, of each series of cells have progressively higher threshold voltages beginning at the sense line, and the voltage applied to the common word line has a magnitude greater than that of the highest threshold voltage. Data is stored into or read from the storage capacitors by selecting the common word line and the bit line of the desired cell in a sequential manner.

    摘要: High density V-MOSFET device, particularly single transistor memory cells, are provided by use of a series of simplified self-aligning process steps. Gate electrodes, source/drain regions and source/drain contacts are provided with the aid of an initial mask-less photoresist removal process in which a relatively thick layer of self-leveling photoresist is uniformly removed in order to define portions of a gate electrode within the recess of a V-groove. The gate electrode (22) subsequently acts as a self-aligned mask to define implanted source/drain regions (30, 32) also within the V-groove (18) and to enable second level interconnecting metallurgy contacts (34) to be formed along the sidewalls of the V-groove (18) below the level of the surface of the substrate (10, 14).

    摘要: A semiconductor device memory array formed on a semiconductor substrate comprising a multiplicity of field effect transistor DRAM devices disposed in array is disclosed. Each of the DRAM devices is paired with a non-volatile EEPROM cell and the EEPROM cells are disposed in a shallow trench in the semiconductor substrate running between the DRAM devices such that each DRAM-EEPROM pair shares a common drain diffusion (11). The EEPROM cells are arranged in the trench such that there are discontinuous laterally disposed floating gate polysilicon electrodes (5) and continuous horizontally disposed program (22) and recall (18) gate polysilicon electrodes. The floating gate is separated from the program and recall gates by a silicon rich nitride (7). The array of the invention provides high density shadow RAMs. Also disclosed are methods for the fabrication of devices of the invention.
