    摘要: A storage latch comprising a gate insulating layer over the substrate, shallow trenches formed through the insulating layer and in the substrate to provide device insulation; and doped regions in the substrate between the shallow trenches. The doped regions define sources and drains. Gate stacks are formed over regions of oxide adjacent the doped regions. A planarized insulator is formed between the gate stacks. Openings are provided in the planarized insulator for contacts to the doped regions and the gate stacks. Conductive material fills the openings to form contacts for the doped regions and for the gate stacks. A patterned layer of conductive material on the planarized insulator connects selected ones of the contacts for wiring portions of the latch. A six device SRAM cell comprises a deep isolation trench formed in the substrate; a first latch including two transistors formed of p-type material on a first side of the trench; a second latch including two transistors formed of n-type material on a second side of the trench opposite the first side of the trench, and connection means for electrically cross wiring the transistors of the first latch to the transistors of the second latch. In forming the latch a self-aligned process for separately forming contacts to diffusion regions and gate stacks on the semiconductor substrate is used.

    摘要: A contactless non-destructive technique for measuring at least one surface property of a first semiconductor material surface utilizes an electrically conductive interdigital transducer and a metal plate defined on a piezoelectric material. The metal plate has a window therein and the semiconductor material is positioned with its first surface over the window and facing the exposed piezoelectric material of the window. A radio frequency pulse is applied to the interdigital transducer to generate a surface acoustic wave on the piezoelectric material. This produces a transverse electric field which extends above the surface of the piezoelectric material and propagates across the window. This field acts as a probing field in the semiconductor material at the surface facing the piezoelectric material, and due to acousto-electric interaction a transverse acousto-electric voltage is produced. A dc voltage is applied to an opposite surface of the semiconductor to change the surface potential of the semiconductor material. A characteristic curve plotting the transverse acoustoelectric voltage against the dc voltage can be utilized to determine various surface properties for the semiconductor material. The window also defines the position where this surface property is measured.

    摘要: A silicon on insulator (SOI) dynamic random access memory (DRAM) cell and array and method of manufacture. The memory cell includes a trench storage capacitor connected by a self aligned buried strap to a vertical access transistor. A buried oxide layer isolates an SOI layer from a silicon substrate. The trench capacitor is formed in the substrate and the access transistor is formed on a sidewall of the SOI layer. A polysilicon strap connected to the polysilicon plate of the storage capacitor provides a self-aligned contact to the source of the access transistor. Initially, the buried oxide layer is formed in the wafer. Deep trenches are etched, initially just through the SOI layer and the BOX layer. Protective sidewalls are formed in the trenches. Then, the deep trenches are etched into the substrate. The volume in the substrate is expanded to form a bottle shaped trench. A polysilicon capacitor plate is formed in the deep trenches and conductive polysilicon straps are formed in the trenches between the capacitor plates and the SOI sidewalls. Device regions are defined in the wafer and a sidewall gate is formed in the deep trenches. Shallow trenches isolation (STI) is used to isolate and define cells. Bitlines and wordlines are formed on the wafer.

    摘要: A silicon on insulator (SOI) dynamic random access memory (DRAM) cell, array and method of manufacture. The memory cell includes a vertical access transistor above a trench storage capacitor in a layered wafer. A buried oxide (BOX) layer formed in a silicon wafer isolates an SOI layer from a silicon substrate. Deep trenches are etched through the upper surface SOI layer, the BOX layer and into the substrate. Each trench capacitor is formed in the substrate and, the access transistor is formed on a sidewall of the SOI layer. Recesses are formed in the BOX layer at the SOI layer. A polysilicon strap recessed in the BOX layer connects each polysilicon storage capacitor plate to a self-aligned contact at the source of the access transistor. Dopant is implanted into the wafer to define device regions. Access transistor gates are formed along the SOI layer sidewalls. Shallow trenches are formed and filled with insulating material to isolate cells from adjacent cells. Wordlines and bitlines are formed to complete the memory array.

    摘要: A method and structure for forming patterned SOI regions and bulk regions is described wherein a silicon containing layer over an insulator may have a plurality of selected thickness' and wherein bulk regions may be suitable to form DRAM's and SOI regions may be suitable to form merged logic such as CMOS. Ion implantation of oxygen is used to formed patterned buried oxide layers at selected depths and mask edges may be shaped to form stepped oxide regions from one depth to another. Trenches may be formed through buried oxide end regions to remove high concentrations of dislocations in single crystal silicon containing substrates. The invention overcomes the problem of forming DRAM with a storage capacitor formed with a deep, trench in bulk Si while forming merged logic regions on SOI.
