摘要:
Trench capacitors are fabricated utilizing a method which results in a refractory metal salicide (32) as a component of the trench electrode (26,32,34) in a lower region of the trench. The salicide-containing trench electrode exhibits reduced series resistance compared to conventional trench electrodes of similar dimensions, thereby enabling reduced ground rule memory cell leats and/or reduced cell access time. The trench capacitors of the invention are especially useful as components of DRAM memory cells.

A trench capacitor for a DRAM cell (200) having a diffusion region (269) adjacent to the collar to increase the gate threshold voltage of the parasitic MOSFET. This enables the use of a thinner collar while still achieving a leakage that is acceptable. In one embodiment, the diffusion region is self-aligned.
摘要:
In a method for making an electrical connection between a trench storage capacitor and an access transistor in a DRAM cell, the electrical connection (90) is formed through the selectively controlled outdiffusion of either N-type or P-type dopants present in the trench through a single crystalline semiconducting material (60) which is grown by epitaxy (epi) from the trench sidewall. This epitaxially grown single crystalline layer acts as a barrier to excessive dopant outdiffusion which can occur in the processing of conventional DRAMs.

摘要:
A method of forming a coupled capacitor and transistor is provided. A trench is formed in a semiconductor substrate (10) and an impurity-doped first conductive region (105) is then formed by filing the trench with an impurity-doped first conductive material. The impurity-doped first conductive region (105) is etched back to a first level within the trench. An insulating layer (106) is then formed on a sidewall of the portion of the trench (103) opened by the etching back of the impurity-doped first conductive region and a second conductive region (107) is formed by filing the remainder of the trench with a second conductive material. The insulating layer (106) and the second conductive region (107) are etched back to a second level within the trench and an amorphous silicon layer (108) is formed in the portion of the trench opened by the etching back of the insulating layer (106) and the second conductive region (107). The undoped amorphous silicon layer (108) is etched back to a third level within the trench. The undoped amorphous silicon layer (108) is then recrystallized. Impurities are outdiffused from the impurity-doped first conductive region to the semiconductor substrate through the recrystallized silicon layer. A source/drain region of the transistor is formed adjacent to an intersection of the trench and the surface of the semiconductor substrate. The outdiffused impurities and the recrystallized silicon layer constitute a buried strap (126) for electrically connecting the first and second conductive layers in the trench to the source/drain region.
