    摘要: An integrated circuit comprising a vertically oriented device formed with a substantially SELF ALIGNED process, in which the trench, active area (e.g., 128, 228), and gate (e.g., 132, 232) of a DRAM cell may be formed using a minimal number of masks and lithographic steps. Using this process, a DRAM cell comprising a vertical transistor and a buried word line (e.g., 132, 232) may be formed. A gate dielectric (e.g., 130, 230) may be disposed adjacent the active area, and the portion of the buried word line adjacent the gate dielectric may function as the vertically oriented gate for the vertical transistor. The DRAM memory cell may comprise one of a variety of capacitors, such a trench capacitor underlying the vertical transistor, or a stack capacitor (e.g., 241) overlying the vertical transistor. When a stack capacitor is used, a buried bit line (e.g., 208) underlying the vertical transistor may also be used.
