摘要:
A silicon on insulator (SOI) dynamic random access memory (DRAM) cell and array and method of manufacture. The memory cell includes a trench storage capacitor connected by a self aligned buried strap to a vertical access transistor. A buried oxide layer isolates an SOI layer from a silicon substrate. The trench capacitor is formed in the substrate and the access transistor is formed on a sidewall of the SOI layer. A polysilicon strap connected to the polysilicon plate of the storage capacitor provides a self-aligned contact to the source of the access transistor. Initially, the buried oxide layer is formed in the wafer. Deep trenches are etched, initially just through the SOI layer and the BOX layer. Protective sidewalls are formed in the trenches. Then, the deep trenches are etched into the substrate. The volume in the substrate is expanded to form a bottle shaped trench. A polysilicon capacitor plate is formed in the deep trenches and conductive polysilicon straps are formed in the trenches between the capacitor plates and the SOI sidewalls. Device regions are defined in the wafer and a sidewall gate is formed in the deep trenches. Shallow trenches isolation (STI) is used to isolate and define cells. Bitlines and wordlines are formed on the wafer.
摘要:
A silicon on insulator (SOI) dynamic random access memory (DRAM) cell, array and method of manufacture. The memory cell includes a vertical access transistor above a trench storage capacitor in a layered wafer. A buried oxide (BOX) layer formed in a silicon wafer isolates an SOI layer from a silicon substrate. Deep trenches are etched through the upper surface SOI layer, the BOX layer and into the substrate. Each trench capacitor is formed in the substrate and, the access transistor is formed on a sidewall of the SOI layer. Recesses are formed in the BOX layer at the SOI layer. A polysilicon strap recessed in the BOX layer connects each polysilicon storage capacitor plate to a self-aligned contact at the source of the access transistor. Dopant is implanted into the wafer to define device regions. Access transistor gates are formed along the SOI layer sidewalls. Shallow trenches are formed and filled with insulating material to isolate cells from adjacent cells. Wordlines and bitlines are formed to complete the memory array.

摘要:
A DRAM cell storage capacitor is formed above the bottom of a deep trench (DT) below an FET transistor. The DT has upper, central and lower portions with sidewalls. A capacitor plate electrode, surrounding the lower DT portion that is doped with a first dopant type, is separated by an interface from a well region surrounding the upper and central portions of the DT that are doped with an opposite dopant type. A source/drain region formed at the top of the cell is doped with the first dopant type. A node dielectric layer that covers the sidewalls and bottom of the lower and central portions of the DT is filled with a node electrode of the capacitor, doped with the first dopant type, fills the space inside the node dielectric layer in the lower part of the DT. Above a recessed node dielectric layer a strap region space is filled with a buried-strap conductor. An oxide (TTO) layer is formed over the node electrode and the buried-strap in the DT. A peripheral gate oxide layer, which coats sidewalls of the DT above the TTO, defines a space which is filled with the FET gate electrode. An outdiffusion region, doped with the first dopant type, is formed in the well region near the buried-strap. The cell has a first state and an opposite state of operation. A punch-through device, formed in the well between the outdiffusion region and the interface, provides a self-refreshing punchthrough current in the cell between the well and the plate in the first state of cell operation. A reverse bias junction leakage current occurs in the cell between the buried-strap and the P-well to refresh the opposite state of cell operation.
摘要:
A method for clearing an isolation collar from a first interior surface of a deep trench at a location above a storage capacitor while leaving the isolation collar at other surfaces of the deep trench. A barrier material is deposited above a node conductor of the storage capacitor. A layer of silicon is deposited over the barrier material. Dopant ions are implanted at an angle into the layer of deposited silicon within the deep trench, thereby leaving the deposited silicon unimplanted along one side of the deep trench. The unimplanted silicon is etched. The isolation collar is removed in locations previously covered by the unimplanted silicon, leaving the isolation collar in locations covered by the implanted silicon.
摘要:
An easily manufactured connecting structure from a node conductor of trench capacitor device is characterized at least in part by the presence of an isolation collar located above the node conductor, at least a portion of the collar having an exterior surface which is substantially conformal with at least a portion of an adjacent wall of the trench, a buried strap region in the trench above the node conductor, the strap region being bounded laterally by the isolation collar except at an opening in the collar. The connecting structure is preferably formed by a method involving clearing an isolation collar from a first interior surface of a deep trench at a location above a storage capacitor while leaving the isolation collar at other surfaces of the deep trench.
摘要:
A method of forming a vertical transistor. A pad layer is formed over a semiconductor substrate. A trough is formed through the pad layer and in the semiconductor substrate. A bit line is formed buried in the trough. The bit line is enclosed by a dielectric material. A strap is formed extending through the dielectric material to connect the bit line to the semiconductor substrate. The trough is filled above the bit line with a conductor. The conductor is cut along its longitudinal axis such that the conductor remains on one side of the trough. Wordline troughs are formed, substantially orthogonal to the bit line, above the semiconductor substrate. A portion of the conductor is removed under the wordline trough to separate the conductor into separate gate conductors. Wordlines are formed in the wordline trough connected to the separate gate conductors.
