Abstract:
Method for fabricating a semiconductor memory element arrangement. A layer system, including a floating gate and a tunnel barrier arrangement formed on the floating gate, is formed on an electrically insulating layer. A first trench structure is formed in the layer system, and the first trench structure has first parallel trenches extending as far as the insulating layer. A second trench structure is formed in the layer system, and has second parallel trenches arranged perpendicular to the first trenches and extending as far as the insulating layer. First and second gate electrodes are formed in the first and second trench structures. The first gate electrode is adjacent to the floating gate through which first gate electrode electrical charge can be fed or can be dissipated from. The second gate electrode is adjacent to the tunnel barrier arrangement, and can control an electrical charge transmission of the tunnel barrier arrangement.
Abstract:
A DRAM memory cell is provided with a selection transistor, which is arranged horizontally at a semiconductor substrate surface and has a first source/drain electrode, a second source/drain electrode, a channel layer arranged between the first and the second source/drain electrode in the semiconductor substrate, and a gate electrode, which is arranged along the channel layer and is electrically insulated from the channel layer, a storage capacitor, which has a first capacitor electrode and a second capacitor electrode, insulated from the first capacitor electrode, one of the capacitor electrodes of the storage capacitor being electrically conductively connected to one of the source/drain electrodes of the selection transistor, and a semiconductor substrate electrode on the rear side, the gate electrode enclosing the channel layer at at least two opposite sides.
