The gate electrode contacts a surface of the gate oxide layer and further comprises at least a first and a second conductive layer, wherein the first and second conductive layers are made of materials having different work functions with respect to each other. The first conductive layer contacts the gate oxide layer within a first portion of the surface, and the second conductive layer contacts the gate oxide layer within a second portion of the surface. The first conductive layer is further conductively connected to the second conductive layer.

In a method for producing a trench transistor, a substrate of a first conduction type is provided and a trench in the substrate and a gate dielectric in the trench are formed. A first conductive filling in the trench as a gate electrode on the gate dielectric and first source and drain regions are formed. An etched-back first conductive filling is produced by etching back the first conductive filling down to a depth below the first source and drain regions and second source and drain regions are formed. The second source and drain regions adjoin the first source and drain regions and extend to a depth at least as far as the etched-back first conductive filling. An insulation spacer above the etched-back first conductive filling is formed in the trench and a second conductive filling is provided in the trench as an upper part of the gate electrode.

Memory cells each having a cell capacitor and a cell transistor, which are arranged in a vertical cell structure, are provided in the cell array of a DRAM. By means of a deep implantation or a shallow implantation and subsequent epitaxial growth of silicon, a buried source/drain layer is formed, from which lower source/drain regions of the cell transistors emerge. The upper edge of the buried source/drain layer can be aligned with respect to a lower edge of a gate electrode of the cell transistor and this results in a reduction of a gate/drain capacitance and also a leakage current between the gate electrode and the lower source/drain region. A body connection plate for the connection of the channel regions is applied to the substrate surface and contact holes are introduced into the body connection plate. Upper source/drain regions of the cell transistors are formed by implantation through the contact holes.

Stack and trench memory cells are provided in a DRAM memory cell array. The stack and trench memory cells are arranged so as to form identical cell pairs each having a trench capacitor, a stack capacitor and a semiconductor fin, in which the active areas of two select transistors for addressing the trench and stack capacitors are formed. The semiconductor fins are arranged in succession in the longitudinal direction to form cell rows and in this arrangement are spaced apart from one another by in each case a trench capacitor. Respectively adjacent cell rows are separated from one another by trench isolator structures and are offset with respect to one another by half the length of a cell pair. The semiconductor fins are crossed by at least two active word lines, which are orthogonal with respect to the cell rows, for addressing the select transistors realized in the semiconductor fin.

A method for etching trenches having different depths on a semiconductor substrate includes providing a mask with first and second openings. The first and second openings are located where corresponding first and second trenches are to be etched. A slow-etch region, made of a slow-etch material, is provided above the substrate at a location corresponding to the second opening. When exposed to a selected etchant, the slow-etch material is etched at a rate less than the rate at which the semiconductor substrate is etched when exposed to the selected etchant.

A capacitor of a memory cell is produced in a depression (V) in a first substrate (1). The first substrate (1) is connected to a second substrate (2) in such a way that an insulating layer (I) is arranged between them. The second substrate (2) is thinned. A transistor of the memory cell is produced in the second substrate (2).

A gate insulating material is provided at an interface between the active area and the groove and at an interface between the active area and the pockets. A gate electrode material is deposited so as to fill the groove and the two pockets.
