    摘要: A semiconductor device, such as a memory device or radiation detector, is disclosed, in which data storage cells are formed on a substrate. Each of the data storage cells includes a field effect transistor having a source, drain, and gate, and a body arranged between the source and drain for storing electrical charge generated in the body. The magnitude of the net electrical charge in the body can be adjusted by input signals applied to the transistor, and the adjustment of the net electrical charge by the input signals can be at least partially cancelled by applying electrical voltage signals between the gate and the drain and between the source and the drain.

    摘要: An etch process for increasing the alignment tolerances between capacitor components and an adjacent contact corridor in Dynamic Random Access Memories. The etch process is implemented in a capacitor structure formed over a semiconductor substrate The capacitor structure includes a first conductor, a dielectric layer on the first conductor and a second conductor on the dielectric layer. The second conductor has a horizontal region laterally adjacent to and extending away from the first conductor. The etch process comprises the steps of: (a) forming a layer of patterned photoresist over the second conductor, the photoresist being patterned to expose a portion of the horizontal region of the second conductor at a desired location of a contact corridor above a source/drain region in the substrate; (b) using the photoresist as an etch mask, anisotropically etching away the exposed portions of the horizontal region of the second conductor; and (c) using the photoresist again as an etch mask, isotropically etching away substantially all of the remaining portions of the horizontal region of the second conductor and thereby enlarging the area available for locating the contact corridor. Alternatively, the horizontal region of the second conductor is removed using a single isotropic etch.

    摘要: A three dimensional capacitor structure particularly adapted for use as a memory cell capacitor of a DRAM is disclosed. The capacitor structure incorporates the substantially vertical (in relation to the substrate) sides of a plurality of spacers into the storage node capacitor to increase the total area of the storage node capacitor. In the described embodiments of the invention, a first spacer and a second spacer are formed next to the digit lines. The bottom storage node plate is formed on at least the first sides of the spacers to increase area of the storage node. The bottom storage node plate is also formed on the upper surface of the digit line. Additional spacers can also be added to further increase the area of the storage node. A dielectric layer is formed over the first capacitor plate and a second capacitor plate layer is formed over the dielectric layer to complete the structure.

    摘要: A stacked v-cell (SVC) capacitor using a modified stacked capacitor storage cell fabrication process. The SVC capacitor is made up of polysilicon structure, having a v-shaped cross-section, located at a buried contact and extending to an adjacent storage node overlaid by polysilicon with a dielectric sandwiched in between. The addition of the polysilicon structure increases storage capability 70% without enlarging the surface area defined for a normal stacked capacitor cell.

    摘要: A dynamic random access memory cell in which a silicon-germanium alloy layer having a rough surface morphology is utilized for the capacitive surface of the storage-node plate of the cell capacitor. To create a DRAM array having such cells, a silicon-germanium alloy is deposited, typically via rapid thermal chemical vapor deposition, on top of a single crystalline silicon or polycrystalline silicon storage-node plate layer under conditions which favor three-dimensional growth in the form of macroscopic islanding (i.e., a high concentration of germanium in precursor gases and relatively high deposition temperature). A cell dielectric layer, which exhibits the property of bulk-limited conduction (e.g., silicon nitride), is utilized. Except for the deposition of the silicon-germanium alloy, array processing is conventional.
