The preferred embodiment provides an integrated circuit capacitor that achieves a high capacitance by using an inversion layer in the substrate as the plate counter electrode for the capacitor. The inversion layer is created by forming a trench capacitor in a lightly doped substrate. With a sufficient workfunction difference between the storage node material and the isolation band the surface of the lightly doped substrate inverts, with the inversion charge being supplied by the isolation band. This inversion layer serves as the plate counter electrode for the capacitor.
摘要:
A DRAM unit cell is disclosed which comprises a trench capacitor (23,25,24) having a signal electrode (24), a bit line (28), a planar active word line (36) overlapping the trench capacitor and a planar FET having a main conducting path coupled between the signal electrode of the trench capacitor and the bit line and a gate electrode formed by the active word line. The unit cell takes up a smaller substrate area than prior art unit cells because of the overlap between the word line and the trench capacitor.

Reduced variations in buried layer across the chip is provided. The reduction in variation is achieved by defining the top surface of the buried layer and then the lower surface of the buried layer. This results in improved control buried strap variations, thereby improving performance of the IC.

摘要:
A word line (420) is buried beside a vertical semiconductor device (400). The word line is embedded adjacent to the vertical semiconductor device such that the topography of the word line is substantially planar. The planar features of the buried word line allows further processing to performed over the word line and the vertical transistor. In another embodiment, the vertical semiconductor device is a transistor having a vertically oriented gate. The word line is buried beside the vertically oriented gate, such that the topography of the word line is substantially planar.
摘要:
A random access memory cell having a trench capacitor formed below the surface of the substrate. A shallow trench isolation (455) is provided to isolate the memory cell from other memory cells of a memory array. The shallow trench isolation includes a top surface raised above the substrate wherein the amount that the top surface is raised is sufficient to prevent a divot (490) that is subsequently formed from extending below the substrate surface.

摘要:
A method of fabricating sub-ground-rule (sub-GR) gates in a deep-trench dynamic random access memory (DRAM) cell, the method comprising depositing, removing and selectively etching a plurality of layers which include sacrificial spacers, liners, masking and resist layers of both semiconducting and non-semiconducting materials on a semiconductor substrate. The method allows a device to be fabricated with a high degree of decoupling between the channel doping and junction doping.
