The invention provides a method for fabricating a memory device having memory cells which are formed on a microstructured driving unit (100), in which method a shaping layer (104) is provided and is patterned in such a manner that vertical trench structures (105) are formed perpendicular to the surface of the driving unit (100). Deposition of a seed layer (106) on side walls (105a) of the trench structures (105) allows a crystallization agent (107) which has filled the trench structures (105), during crystallization, to have grain boundaries perpendicular to electrode surfaces that are to be formed. This provides memory cells based on vertical ferroelectric capacitors in a chain FeRAM structure.

摘要:
A method for fabricating a trench capacitor, that includes steps of: providing a silicon substrate; forming a trench, having a lower region and a surface, in the silicon substrate; and forming a doped layer in the silicon substrate in the lower region of the trench. In addition, a roughened silicon layer that has silicon grains with a diameter ranging from essentially 10 to 100 nm is produced in the lower region of the trench. A dielectric intermediate layer is applied on the roughened silicon layer, and the trench is filled with a doped layer.

A semiconductor memory cell includes a field effect transistor coupled to a storage capacitor that formed as a multilayer stack over the surface of the silicon chip of the cell. The capacitor is formed by three conformal layers over the surface of a cup-shaped contact hole in a silicon oxide layer overlying the surface of the chip.

A method for removal of post reactive ion etch sidewall polymer rails on a Al/Cu metal line of a semiconductor or microelectronic composite structure comprising:1) supplying a mixture of an etching gas and an acid neutralizing gas into a vacuum chamber in which said composite structure is supported to form a water soluble material of sidewall polymer rails left behind on the Al/Cu metal line from the RIE process; removing the water soluble material with deionized water; and removing photo-resist from said composite structure by either a water-only plasma process or a chemical down stream etching method; or2) forming a water-only plasma process to strip the photo-resist layer of a semiconductor or microelectronic composite structure previously subjected to a RIE process;supplying a mixture of an etching gas and an acid neutralizing gas into a vacuum chamber on which said structure is supported to form a water soluble material of saidwall polymer rails left behind on the Al/Cu metal line from the RIE process; andremoving the water soluble material with deionized water.

摘要:
The storage layer (6) is in each case present above a region in which the channel region (3) adjoins a source/drain region (2) and is in each case interrupted above an intervening middle part of the channel region (3). The storage layer (6) is formed by material of the gate dielectric (4) and contains silicon or germanium nanocrystals or nanodots introduced through ion implantation. The gate electrode (5) is widened at the flanks by electrically conductive spacers (7).
