摘要:
A dynamic random access memory capacitor and to a method for producing the same are described. A first (bottom) electrode of the capacitor has a grained surface made of tungsten silicide placed on a tungsten silicide layer which is disposed near a surface of a electrode body. The graining of the tungsten silicide layer is formed by tempering a temporarily present double layer that is formed of an understoichiometric tungsten silicide layer and a silicon layer. The double layer is formed on the tungsten silicide layer.

A method for fabricating a stacked capacitor in a semiconductor configuration, in which one electrode of the stacked capacitor is connected via a terminal region of a first conductivity type to a source or drain of a transistor. The semiconductor configuration having one electrode of a stacked capacitor produced by utilizing different etching rates of semiconductor layers of a second conductivity type which are doped to different extents. After the etching of the one electrode of the stacked capacitor, doping reversal of the semiconductor layers remaining after the etching operation to the first conductivity type is performed, with the result that the electrode has the same conductivity type as the terminal region and no pn junction occurs between the electrode and terminal region.

An integrated electrical circuit has at least one memory cell, in which the memory cell is disposed in the region of a surface of a semiconductor substrate. The memory cell contains at least two inverters that are electrically connected to one another. The inverters each contain two complementary MOS transistors having a source, a drain and a channel, the channels of the complementary MOS transistors having different conductivity types. According to the invention, the integrated electrical circuit is constructed in such a way that the inverters are disposed perpendicularly to the surface of the semiconductor substrate. The source, the drain and the channel of the complementary MOS transistors are formed by layers which lie one on top of the other and are disposed in such a way that the complementary MOS transistors are situated one above the other. The invention furthermore relates to a method for fabricating the integrated electrical circuit.
摘要:
The charge-trapping layer comprises two strips above the source and drain junctions. The thicknesses of the charge-trapping layer and the gate dielectric are chosen to facilitate Fowler-Nordheim-tunnelling of electrons into the strips during an erasure process. Programming is performed by injection of hot holes into the strips individually for two-bit storage.

A memory-cell array includes a substrate forming parallel first and second trenches. A transistor's upper source/drain region adjoins two of the first and two of the second trenches, and lies above its lower source/drain region. A conductive structure in a first trench associated with the transistor adjoins the upper source/drain region at its first edge. An insulating structure in the associated first trench insulates the conductive structure from a second edge and from a bottom of the associated first trench. A word line, on which is a further insulating layer, is over the upper/source drain region and parallel to the associated first trench bulges into the second trenches. Insulating spaces adjoin the word line laterally. A contact on the conductive structure and in electrical communication with the upper source/drain region connects with a capacitor.
摘要:
In producing a silicon capacitor, hole structures (2) are created in a silicon substrate (1), at the surface of which structures a conductive zone (3) is created by doping and whose surface is provided with a dielectric layer (4) and a conductive layer (5), without filling the hole structures (2). To compensate mechanical strains upon the silicon substrate (1) which are effected by the doping of the conductive zone (3), a conformal auxiliary layer (6) is formed on the surface of the conductive layer (5), which auxiliary layer is under a compressive mechanical stress.
摘要:
For manufacturing a multi-layer capacitor, a layer structure (2, 3, 4) is applied onto a substrate (1), said layer structure comprising conductive layers (2, 4) and dielectric layers (3) in alternation and successive conductive layers (2, 4) therein being respectively formed of one of two different materials which are selectively etchable relative to one another. Two openings (6, 8) are produced in the layer structure (2, 3, 4), whereby under-etchings (21, 41 ) are formed in the first opening (6) by selective etching of the one material and are formed in the second opening (8) by selective etching of the other material, so that only the conductive layers (2, 4) of the non-etched material respectively adjoin contacts (91, 92) introduced into the openings (6, 8).
摘要:
To manufacture a memory device, a gate dielectric layer is formed over a semiconductor body and a gate electrode layer is formed over the gate dielectric layer. The gate electrode layer is structured to form a gate electrode with sidewalls. An etching process is performed to remove parts of the gate dielectric layer from beneath the gate electrode on opposite sides of the gate electrode. Boundary layers, e.g., oxide layers, are formed on an upper surface of the semiconductor body and a lower surface of the gate electrode adjacent where the gate dielectric has been removed thereby leaving spaces. Charge-trapping layer material can then be deposited to fill the spaces. Source and drain regions are then formed in the semiconductor body adjacent the gate electrode.
