    摘要: A method of operating a memory circuit to reduce standby current is disclosed. The method includes applying a first voltage (Vdd) to a power terminal (224) of a memory cell having a first (612) and a second (614) data terminal. A data bit is stored in a memory cell (600,602,604,606). A second voltage (VDA) different from the first voltage is applied to the power terminal. A third voltage (Ground) is applied to the first and second data terminals. The first voltage is applied to the power terminal.

    摘要: A dynamic one-transistor read/write memory cell employs a trench capacitor to increase the magnitude of the stored charge. The trench is etched into the silicon surface at a diffused N+ capacitor region similar in structure to the N+ bit line, then thick oxide is grown over the bit line and over the capacitor region, but not in the trench. The upper plate of the capacitor is a polysilicon layer extending into the trench and also forming field plate isolation over the face of the silicon bar. A refractory metal word line forms the gate of the access transistor at a hole in the polysilicon field plate.

    摘要: A DRAM memory cell structure and a method for forming the same is disclosed. Each memory cell is formed at a pillar, where the storage plate is an inversion region created by a field plate surrounding all sides of each pillar and separated therefrom by a storage dielectric film. The field plate is formed in a grid shape, and is disposed at the bottom of the trenches surrounding the array of pillars to serve as the fixed plate for all storage capacitors in the array. At the top of each pillar is a diffusion to which the bit lines are connected. Disposed in the trench above the field plate and extending in one direction are word lines. Each word line is formed of a polysilicon filament onto which tungsten is deposited by way of selective CVD. The word line is formed closely adjacent the pillars in its associated row,, separated therefrom by a gate dielectric film; the word line is separated from the adjacent row by a dielectric film which is thicker than the gate dielectric, so that the word line will cause conduction between the inversion region and the top diffusion for its associated row, but not for the adjacent row.

    摘要: An improved memory cell layout (54) is formed including a trench cell (60) formed in a semiconductor substrate (58). The memory cell layout (54) includes a bitline (56) and a wordline (62) for storing and accessing charge. The charge is stored on a capacitor formed from a conductor (68), an insulating region (70) and a semiconductor substrate (58). Bitline (56) is primarily tangential to a trench cell (60), or may surround the periphery thereof. A wordline (62) overlies trench cell (60) and extends therein, and further may be formed of a width narrower than trench cell (60).

    摘要: An integrated circuit capacitor is disclosed which has improved leakage and storage characteristics. The dielectric material for the capacitor consists of a first layer of silicon nitride adjacent the lower plate, such as a silicon substrate, upon which a layer of silicon dioxide is formed. A second layer of silicon nitride is formed over the silicon dioxide layer, above which the second plate is formed. The layer of silicon dioxide may be formed by the partial oxidation of the first silicon nitride layer. The capacitor may be a planar capacitor, may be formed in a trench, or may be formed between two layers above the surface of the substrate.

    摘要: Metal-gate transistors with metal silicide cladding of the source/drain regions, as may be used in very high density dynamic RAM devices, are made by a process in which the metal gate is encapsulated in oxide and the cladding is self aligned with the encapsulated gate. A thin coating of a refractory metal is applied to the source/drain areas and heated to react with the exposed silicon. The unreacted metal is removed by an etchant that does not disturb the metal gate or the silicide.

    摘要: A trench (28) of a DRAM cell is formed in a (p-) epitaxial layer (10) and a silicon substrate (12), and a storage oxide (32) is grown on the sidewalls (30) of the trench (28). A highly doped polysilicon capacitor electrode (34) is formed in the trench (28). A portion (52) of the storage oxide (32) is removed from a selected side of the sidewalls (30), and a plug (68) is deposited therein and etched back so that the electrode (34) is connected to the epitaxial layer (10). A thermal cycle is used to diffuse dopant from the capacitor electrode (34) into and through the plug (68) and into the adjacent semiconductor layer (10) to make the plug (68) conductive and to form a source region (66) of a pass gate transistor of the cell.
