    摘要: A method is provided for making a buried plate region in a semiconductor substrate. According to such method, a trench is a single-crystal semiconductor region of a substrate is etched to form a trench elongated in a direction extending downwardly from a major surface of the substrate. A dopant source layer is formed to overlie a lower portion of the trench sidewall but not an upper portion of the trench sidewall. A layer consisting essentially of semiconductor material is epitaxially grown onto a single-crystal semiconductor region exposed at the upper portion of the trench sidewall above the dopant source layer. Through annealing, a dopant is then driven from the dopant source layer into the single-crystal semiconductor material of the substrate adjacent to the lower portion to form a buried plate. Then, the dopant source layer is removed and an isolation collar is formed along at least a part of the upper portion.

A buffer layer of silicon germanium (SiGe), silicon carbon (SiC), or similar material is formed on the substrate and has a lattice constant/structure mis-match with the substrate. A relaxed layer of SiGe, SiC, or similar material is formed on the buffer layer and places the strained material in the tensile or compressive state. In another embodiment, carbon-doped silicon or germanium-doped silicon is used to form the strained material.

    摘要: A semiconductor structure for a dynamic random access memory (DRAM) cell array that includes a plurality of vertical memory cells built on a semiconductor-on-insulator (SOI) wafer and a body contact electrically coupling a semiconductor body and a semiconductor substrate of the SOI wafer. The semiconductor body includes a channel region for the access device of one of the vertical memory cells. The body contact, which extends through a buried dielectric layer of the SOI wafer, provides a current leakage path that reduces the impact of floating body effects upon the vertical memory cell. The body contact may be formed by etching a via that extends through the semiconductor body and buried dielectric layer of the SOI wafer and extends into the substrate and partially filling the via with a conductive material that electrically couples the semiconductor body with the substrate.

According to the disclosed method, a first semiconductor wafer is provided, having a first dielectric layer disposed at an outer surface of the first wafer and a plurality of dielectric filled trenches extending from the outer surface inwardly into the semiconductor. The outer surface of the first wafer is bonded to the outer surface of a second semiconductor wafer to form a bonded wafer having a bulk semiconductor region, a buried dielectric layer overlying the bulk semiconductor region, and a semiconductor-on-insulator layer overlying the buried dielectric layer, with the dielectric filled trenches extending upwardly from the buried dielectric layer into the semiconductor-on-insulator layer. The thickness of the semiconductor-on-insulator layer is then reduced until uppermost surfaces of at least some of the dielectric filled trenches are at least partially exposed.
