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.

Semiconductor-on-insulator (SOI) substrates including a buried oxide (BOX) layer having a thickness of less than 300 Å are provided. The (SOI) substrates having the thin BOX layer are provided using a method including a step in which oxygen ions are implanted at high substrate temperatures (greater than 600° C.), and at a low implant energy (less than 40 keV). An anneal step in an oxidizing atmosphere follows the implant step and is performed at a temperature less than 1250° C. The anneal step in oxygen containing atmosphere converts the region containing implanted oxygen atoms formed by the implant step into a BOX having a thickness of less than 300 Å. In some instances, the top semiconductor layer of the SOI substrate has a thickness of less than 300 Å.

In the preferred embodiment of this invention a method is described to convert patterned SOI regions into patterned SGOI (silicon-germanium on oxide) by the SiGe/SOI thermal mixing process to further enhance performance of the logic circuit in an embedded DRAM. The SGOI region acts as a template for subsequent Si growth such that the Si is strained, and electron and holes in the Si have higher mobility.
