摘要:
A trench capacitor, in accordance with the present invention, includes a trench formed in a substrate. The trench has a buried plate formed adjacent to a lower portion of the trench. A dielectric collar is formed along vertical sidewalls of the trench. A node diffusion region is formed adjacent to the trench for connecting to a storage node in the trench. A dopant region is formed laterally outward from the trench and adjacent to the collar, and the dopant region includes a profile having a lower portion extending further laterally outward from the trench than an upper portion of the profile wherein operation of a parasitic transistor formed adjacent to the trench between the node diffusion and the buried plate is disrupted by the dopant region. Methods for forming the dopant region are also disclosed and claimed.

A masking layer is applied over a top semiconductor layer and patterned to expose in an opening a shallow trench isolation structure and a portion of a top semiconductor region within which a first source/drain region and a body is to be formed. Ions are implanted into a portion of a buried insulator layer within the area of the opening to form damaged buried insulator region. The shallow trench isolation structure is removed and the damaged buried insulator region is etched selective to undamaged buried insulator portions to form a cavity. A dielectric layer is formed on the sidewalls and the exposed bottom surface of the top semiconductor region and a back gate filling the cavity is formed. A contact is formed to provide an electrical bias to the back gate so that the electrical potential of the body and the first source/drain region is electrically modulated.

Trench capacitors are fabricated utilizing a method which results in a metallic nitride as a portion of a node electrode in a lower region of the trench. The metallic nitride-containing trench electrode exhibits reduced series resistance compared to conventional trench electrodes of similar dimensions, thereby enabling reduced ground rule memory cell layouts and/or reduced cell access time. The trench capacitors of the invention are especially useful as components of DRAM memory cells having various trench configuration and design.
摘要:
A dynamic random access memory (DRAM) formed in a semiconductor body has individual pairs of memory cells that are isolated from one another by a vertical electrical isolation trench and are isolated from support circuitry. The isolation trench has sidewalls and upper and lower portions, and encircles an area of the semiconductor body which contains the memory cells. This electrically isolates pairs of memory cells from each other and from the support circuitry contained within the semiconductor body but not located within the encircled area. The lower portion of the isolation trench is filled with an electrically conductive material that has sidewall portions thereof which are at least partly separated from the sidewalls of the lower portion of the trench by a first electrical insulator, and that has a lower portion that is in electrical contact with the semiconductor body. The upper portion of the isolation trench is filled with a second electrical insulator.
摘要:
A method and structure for a semiconductor device which includes a substrate comprising trenches, a plurality of devices on the substrate isolated by the trenches, conductive sidewall spacers within the trenches, and an insulator filling the trenches between the conductive sidewall spacers. A first conductive sidewall spacer is electrically connected to a first device of said plurality of devices and a second conductive sidewall spacer is electrically connected to a second device of the plurality of devices. The first device can be biased independently of the second device. A contact extends above a surface of the substrate. A first contact abuts a first device and a first conductive sidewall spacer. An insulator separates the conductive sidewall spacers. A first contact may be equidistant between the first conductor and the second conductor. The conductive sidewall spacers comprise field shields.
