摘要:
Transistor bodies of semiconductor material located at a main surface of a semiconductor substrate between shallow trench isolations are provided with a rounded or curved upper surface. A floating gate electrode is arranged above said upper surface and electrically insulated from the semiconductor material by a tunnel dielectric having essentially the same tiny thickness throughout a primary tunnel area encompassing the area of curvature. The floating gate electrode may bridge the transistor body and is covered with a coupling dielectric provided for a control gate electrode, which forms part of a wordline.
摘要:
In a method for fabricating a dynamic memory cell in a semiconductor substrate having a trench capacitor 1 and a selection transistor 2 and a semiconductor memory having such a memory cell, a dielectric insulator layer 17, 201 is formed between the selection transistor and the trench capacitor, a first electrode region 203 of the selection transistor essentially being arranged above a block-type inner electrode 102 of the trench capacitor and being connected to said electrode via a contact opening 213 in the dielectric insulator layer, said contact opening being provided with an electrically conductive filling layer 214.
