摘要:
A process for manufacturing a deep trench capacitor in a trench (10). The capacitor comprises a collar (18) in an upper region of the trench and a buried plate (26) in a lower region of the trench. The improvement comprises, before forming the collar in the trench upper region, filling the trench lower region with a non-photosensitive underfill material (16) such as spin-on-glass. The process may comprise the steps of (a) forming a deep trench in a substrate; (b) filling the trench lower region with an underfill material; (c) forming a collar in the trench upper region; (d) removing the underfill; and (e) forming a buried plate in the trench lower region.

A dynamic random access memory (DRAM) cell comprising a deep trench storage capacitor having an active transistor device partially disposed on a side wall of the trench. The side wall is aligned to a first crystallographic plane having a crystallographic orientation along a single crystal axis. A process for manufacturing such a DRAM cell comprises: (a) forming a deep trench in a substrate, (b) forming a faceted crystal region along the trench side wall having a single crystallographic orientation, and (c) forming a transistor device partially disposed on the faceted crystal region in the side wall. The faceted crystal region may be formed by growing an oxide collar, such as by local thermal oxidation under oxidation conditions selected to promote a higher oxidation rate along a first family of crystallographic axes than along a second family of crystallographic axes.

A method includes forming a trench capacitor in a semiconductor body. A recess is formed in the upper portion of the capacitor with such recess having sidewalls in the semiconductor body. A first material is deposited over the sidewalls and over a bottom of the recess. A second material is deposited over the first material. A mask is provided over the second material. The mask has: a masking region to cover one portion of said recess bottom; and a window over a portion of said recess sidewall and another portion of said recess bottom to expose underlying portions of the second material. Portions of the exposed underlying portions of the second material are selectively removing while leaving substantially un-etched exposed underlying portions of the first material. The exposed portions of the first material and underlying portions of the semiconductor body are selectively removed. An isolation region is formed in the removed portions of the semiconductor body. The mask is provided over the second material with a masking region covering one portion of said recess sidewall and one portion of said recess bottom and with a window disposed over an opposite portion of said recess sidewall and an opposite portion of said recess bottom to expose underlying portions of the second material. Etching is provided into the exposed underlying portions of the semiconductor body to form a shallow trench in the semiconductor body. An insulating material is formed in the shallow trench to form a shallow trench isolation region. With such method, greater mask misalignment tolerances are permissible.

A memory cell, in accordance with the invention, includes a trench formed in a substrate, and an active area formed in the substrate below a gate and extending to the trench. The active area includes diffusion regions for forming a transistor for accessing a storage node in the trench, the transistor being activated by the gate. The gate defines a first axis wherein a portion of the active area extends transversely therefrom, the portion of the active area extending to the trench. The trench has a side closest to the portion of the active area, the side of the trench being angularly disposed relative to the gate such that a distance between the gate and the side of the trench is greater than a minimum feature size.
