    摘要: A semiconductor device memory array formed on a semiconductor substrate comprising a multiplicity of field effect transistor DRAM devices disposed in array is disclosed. Each of the DRAM devices is paired with a non-volatile EEPROM cell and the EEPROM cells are disposed in a shallow trench in the semiconductor substrate running between the DRAM devices such that each DRAM-EEPROM pair shares a common drain diffusion. The EEPROM cells are arranged in the trench such that there are discontinuous laterally disposed floating gate polysilicon electrodes and continuous horizontally disposed program and recall gate polysilicon electrodes. The floating gate is separated from the program and recall gates by a silicon rich nitride. The array of the invention provides high density shadow RAMs. Also disclosed are methods for the fabrication of devices of the invention.

    摘要: The present invention is a sidewall connector providing a conductive path linking at least two conductive regions. The sidewall connector has a top portion comprising an outer surface. A conductive member contacts the top portion, connecting the rail to a conductive region or to an external conductor. An etch stop layer located on a conductive region can be used to protect the conductive region during the directional etch to form the sidewall connector. A conductive bridge is then used to link exposed portions of the conductive region and the conductive sidewall rail, the conductive bridge extending across the thickness of the etch stop layer. A "T" connector is formed by the process, starting with a pair of intersecting sidewalls wherein the two sidewalls have top edges at different heights where they intersect. The connector is used to form a strap for a DRAM cell.

    摘要: A DRAM one device cell and an associated precharge circuit are integrated together in a novel structure having an area of only four square features. The structure also provides physical and electrical separation between adjacent cells along a direction parallel to the DRAM word lines. The DRAM bit line length per bit is reduced by 50% relative to a conventional planar integrated structure disclosed elsewhere. As a result, bit line capacitance is also substantially reduced, and the effectiveness of a precharge technique for reduction of DRAM power consumption is enhanced by the dense novel structure.

    摘要: A deep trench type DRAM cell with shallow trench isolation has a buried polysilicon strap that is defined without the use of a separate mask by depositing the strap material over at least the deep trench before shallow trench definition and using the shallow trench isolation mask to overlap partially the deep trench, thereby defining the strap during the process of cutting the shallow trench.

    摘要: A method for providing high density dynamic memory cells which provides self-alignment of both V-MOSFET device elements and their interconnections through the use of a device-defining masking layer having a plurality of parallel thick and thin regions. Holes are etched in portions of the thin regions with the use of an etch mask defining a plurality of parallel regions aligned perpendicular to the regions in the masking layer. V-MOSFET devices having self-aligned gate electrodes are formed in the holes and device interconnecting lines are formed under the remaining portions of the thin regions. A combination of anisotropic etching and directionally dependent etching, such as reaction ion etching, may be used to extend the depth of V-grooves. A method of eliminating the overhang of a masking layer after anisotropic etching includes the oxidation of the V-groove followed by etching to remove both the grown oxide and the overhang is also disclosed.

    摘要: An integrated structure is provided that includes a DRAM cell with a trench storage capacitor, and a corresponding storage node precharge circuit. The entire structure ideally requires only eight square features of area per memory bit. The structure also provides a partial leakage current shield for the DRAM storage node diffusion, thereby improving the data hold time. A graded impurity region around the storage node diffusion enhances the leakage shielding effect. The structure can be operated independently as a DRAM leakage shield if the precharge circuit is not needed. In that case, a junction diffusion in the structure can be eliminated and a leakage shielding effect is still achieved.
