    摘要: A fuse structure in an integrated circuit chip is described that includes an insulated semiconductor substrate; a fuse bank integral to the insulated semiconductor substrate consisting of a plurality of parallel co-planar fuse links; and voids interspersed between each pair of the fuse links, the voids extending beyond a plane defined by the co-planar fuse links. The voids surrounding the spot to be hit by a laser beam during fuse blow operation act as a crack stop to prevent damage to adjacent circuit elements or other fuse links present. By suitably shaping and positioning the voids, a tighter pitch between fuses may be obtained.

    摘要: The invention relates to reducing variations in thickness and height of the buried strap of a trench capacitor. Reduced variations in thickness and height is achieved by defining the top of the buried strap by recessing the poly in the trench to the top of the buried strap. The collar is then recessed to below the top surface to define the bottom of the buried strap. A poly layer is deposited to line the sidewalls of the trench top surface of the poly trench fill, and recessed region above the collar. A etch is then used to remove the excess poly layer from the sidewalls and top surface of the poly trench fill, leaving the recessed region above the collar filled to form the buried strap. The etch removes the poly in the vertical and horizontal direction at about the same rate.

    摘要: A dynamic random access memory (DRAM) formed in a semiconductor body has individual pairs of memory cells that are isolated from one another by a vertical electrical isolation trench and are isolated from support circuitry. The isolation trench has sidewalls and upper and lower portions, and encircles an area of the semiconductor body which contains the memory cells. This electrically isolates pairs of memory cells from each other and from the support circuitry contained within the semiconductor body but not located within the encircled area. The lower portion of the isolation trench is filled with an electrically conductive material that has sidewall portions thereof which are at least partly separated from the sidewalls of the lower portion of the trench by a first electrical insulator, and that has a lower portion that is in electrical contact with the semiconductor body. The upper portion of the isolation trench is filled with a second electrical insulator.
