    摘要: A method is disclosed for forming a memory device having buried access lines (e.g., wordlines) and buried data/sense lines (e.g., digitlines) disposed below vertical cell contacts. The buried wordlines may be formed trenches in a substrate extending in a first direction, and the buried digitlines may be formed from trenches in a substrate extending in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. The buried digitlines may be coupled to a silicon sidewall by a digitline contact disposed between the digitlines and the silicon substrate.

    摘要: A memory device comprises an active area comprising a source and at least two drains defining a first axis. At least two substantially parallel word lines are defined by a first pitch, with one word line located between each drain and the source. Digit lines are defined by a second pitch, one of the digit lines being coupled to the source and forming a second axis. The active areas of the memory array are tilted at 45° to the grid defined by the word lines and digit lines. The word line pitch is about 1.5 F, while the digit line pitch is about 3 F.

In one embodiment, a capacitor comprises a first container which is joined with a substrate node location and has an opening defining a first interior area. A second container is joined with the node location and has an opening defining a second interior area. The areas are spaced apart from one another in a non-overlapping relationship. A dielectric layer and a conductive capacitor electrode layer are disposed operably proximate the first and second containers. In another embodiment, the first and second containers are generally elongate and extend away from the node location along respective first and second central axes. The axes are different and spaced apart from one another. In yet another embodiment, a conductive layer of material is disposed over and in electrical communication with a substrate node location. The layer of material has an outer surface with a first region and a second region spaced apart from the first region. A first container is formed over and in electrical communication with the first region and a second container is formed over and in electrical communication with the second region. In yet another embodiment, the first and second containers define container volumes which are discrete and separated from one another.

    摘要: Methods of electrically contacting to conductive plugs, methods of forming contact openings, and methods of forming dynamic random access memory circuitry are described. In one embodiment, a pair of conductive contact plugs are formed to project outwardly relative to a semiconductor wafer. The plugs have respective tops, one of which being covered with different first and second insulating materials. An opening is etched through one of the first and second insulating materials to expose only one of the tops of the pair of plugs. Electrically conductive material is formed within the opening and in electrical connection with the one plug. In a preferred embodiment, two-spaced apart conductive lines are formed over a substrate and conductive plugs are formed between, and on each side of the conductive lines. The conductive plug formed between the conductive lines provides a bit line contact plug having an at least partially exposed top portion. The exposed top portion is encapsulated with a first insulating material. A layer of second different insulating material is formed over the substrate. Portions of the second insulating material are removed selectively relative to the first insulating material over the conductive plugs on each side of the conductive lines to provide a pair of capacitor containers. Capacitors are subsequently formed in the containers.

    摘要: A field isolation process utilizes two or more isolation formation steps to form active areas on a semiconductor substrate. Each field isolation step forms a portion of the field isolation in a manner which reduces field oxide encroachment, in particular, by forming field oxide islands. The superposition of field isolation configurations define the desired active areas. A presently preferred dual-mask process may be carried out using a single masking stack, or more preferably using a masking stack for each isolation mask. The present isolation process further allows isolation features to be optimized for a variety of isolation requirements on the same integrated circuit.
