    摘要: A method for processing a semiconductor memory device is disclosed, the memory device including an array area and a support area thereon. In an exemplary embodiment of the invention, the method includes removing, from the array area, an initial pad nitride material formed on the device. The initial pad nitride material in the support area, however, is still maintained. Active device areas are then formed within the array area, wherein the initial pad nitride maintained in the support area helps to protect the support area from wet etch processes implemented during the formation of active device areas within the array area.

    摘要: Alignment tolerance for a vertical gate transistor device can be relaxed because of a spacer formed adjacent the trench. The gate electrode is formed of two materials that have etch selectivity between them, such that the outer material can be etched a predetermined depth into the recess without etching the inner material, resulting in the formation of a divot at the top of the trench. The divot is filled with an insulating material so that if source drain contacts are misaligned, the spacer serves to insulate the gate electrode from the contacts.

    摘要: An Insulated Gate Field Effect Transistor (IGFET), fabricated using Shallow Trench Isolation (STI), has an edge of a channel region of the IGFET which has a curved shape with a controlled radius of curvature so as to reduce the electric field at the edge of the channel region. A method of controlling the shape of the edge of the channel region is to limit the supply of oxygen to the region at the edge of the channel region during the oxidation process when the side walls of the silicon island, in which the transistor will be formed, are initially covered with a layer of silicon oxide.

    摘要: A short channel insulated gate field effect transistor has within the semiconductor body that houses the transistor a buried layer of the same conductivity type as the body but of higher impurity concentration. The buried layer is below the channel region and essentially extends only the distance between the drain and source regions of the transistor. The process to form the device provides high concentration in the region under the gate to suppress lateral depletion region expansion, while keeping a gradual junction in the vertical direction.

    摘要: A pair of memory cells for use in a DRAM are formed in a monocrystalline bulk portion of a silicon wafer by first forming a pair of vertical trenches spaced apart by a bulk portion of the wafer. After a dielectric layer is formed over the walls of each trench, the trenches are each filled with polycrystalline silicon. By a pair of recess forming and recess filling steps there is formed at the top of each trench a silicon region that was grown epitaxially with the intermediate bulk portion. Each epitaxial region is made to serve as the body of a separate transistor having its drain in the lower polysilicon fill of a trench, and its source in the monocrystalline bulk intermediate between the two epitaxial regions. The lower polysilicon fill of each trench is also made to serve as the storage node of the capacitor of each cell, with the bulk serving as the other plate of the capacitor.
