A method for forming a deep trench capacitor mainly utilizes a liquid phase deposition (LPD) oxide to form a collar oxide layer in the trench, followed by forming a conductive layer serving as an upper electrode of the deep trench capacitor, thereby avoiding collar oxide residue in the conductive layer and thus forming good electrical connection. And, the method of the present invention does not need a dry etch to remove the unnecessary collar oxide layer such that the process can be simplified.

A method of forming a vertical memory device with a rectangular trench. First, a substrate covered by a photoresist layer is provided. Next, the photoresist layer is defined by a mask to form a rectangular opening, wherein the mask has two rectangular transparent patterns arranged with a predetermined interval. Next, the substrate is etched using the defined photoresist layer as a mask to form a single rectangular trench and the photoresist layer is then removed. Finally, a trench capacitor and a vertical transistor are successively formed in the rectangular trench to finish the vertical memory device.

A memory cell with a vertical transistor has a semiconductor silicon substrate with a deep trench, in which the deep trench has a first sidewall region and a second sidewall region. A first insulating layer is formed overlying the first sidewall region. A second insulating layer is formed overlying the second sidewall region, in which the thickness of the first insulating layer is larger than the thickness of the second insulating layer. A gate electrode layer is sandwiched between the first insulating layer and the second insulating layer. A buried strap out-diffusion region is formed in the substrate adjacent to the second sidewall region, in which the buried strap out-diffusion region is located near the lower portion of the second insulating layer.
