    摘要: A pair of transistors sharing a common electrodes e.g. a bitline in a DRAM array, has a self-aligned contact to the bitline in which the transistor gate stack has only a poly layer with a nitride cover; the aperture for the bitline contact is time-etched to penetrate only between the gates and not reach the silicon substrate; exposed nitride shoulders of the gate are etched to expose the poly; the remainder of the interlayer dielectric is removed by a selective etch; the exposed poly is re-oxidized to protect the gates; and the aperture bottom is cleaned; so that the thick gate stack of a DRAM is dispensed with in order to improve uniformity of line width across the chip beyond what the DRAM technique can deliver.

    摘要: A semiconductor device structure having an isolation region and method of manufacturing the same are provided. The semiconductor device structure includes a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) substrate. A plurality of gates is formed on the SOI substrate. The semiconductor device structure further includes trenches having sidewalls, formed between each of the plurality of gates. The semiconductor device structure further includes an epitaxial lateral growth layer formed in the trenches. The epitaxial lateral growth layer is grown laterally from the opposing sidewalls of the trenches, so that the epitaxial lateral growth layer encloses a portion of the trenches extended into the SOI substrate. The epitaxial lateral growth layer is formed in such way that it includes an air gap region overlying a buried dielectric layer of the SOI substrate.
