    摘要: Improved packing density as well as improved performance and manufacturing yield is achieved in an electrically programmable memory by confining floating gate structures between isolation structures covered with a thin nitride layer. The confinement of the floating gate is achieved by planarization, preferably with a self-limiting chemical/mechanical polishing process, to the surface of the nitride layer covering the isolation structures. Gate oxide and control electrode connections can then be formed on a substantially planar surface without compromising the quality of the gate oxide or breakdown voltage the device must withstand for programming. Since severe topology is avoided over which these connections are formed, improved formation of low resistance connections, possibly including metal connections, are possible and allow scaling of transistors of the memory cells to be scaled to sizes not previously possible.

    摘要: A trench capacitor DRAM cell with Shallow Trench Isolation (STI), a self-aligned buried strap and the method of making the cell. A trench capacitor is defined in a substrate. The trench capacitor's polysilicon (poly) plate is recessed below the surface of the substrate and the trench sidewalls are exposed above the poly. A doped poly layer is deposited over the surface contacting both the sidewall and the trench capacitor's poly plate. Horizontal portions of the poly layer are removed either through chemmech polishing or Reactive Ion Etching (RIE). A shallow trench is formed, removing one formerly exposed trench sidewall and a portion of the trench capacitor's poly plate in order to isolate the DRAM cell from adjacent cells. The remaining poly strap, along the trench sidewall contacting the poly plate, is self aligned to contact the source of the DRAM Pass gate Field Effect Transistor (FET). After the shallow trench is filled with oxide, FET's are formed on the substrate, completing the cell. In an alternate embodiment, instead of recessing the poly plate, a shallow trench is formed spanning the entire width of the trench capacitor. The deposited polysilicon is selectively removed, having straps that strap the poly plate to the shallow trench sidewall.

    摘要: A method of forming a MOS DRAM cell having a trench capacitor in which the strap connection to the trench capacitor, the source, drain, and isolation are all raised above the surface of the single crystal silicon includes the steps of forming the trench capacitors, depositing a blanket gate stack including the gate oxide and a set of gate layers, and then depositing isolation members in apertures etched in the gate stack using the gate oxide as an etch stop. The same sidewalls that are used to form an LDD source and drain combine with nitride sidewalls on a gate contact aperture to separate a gate contact from source and drain contacts.

    摘要: A process for making a dual gated thin film transistor (TFT), having a sidewall channel and self-aligned gates and off-set drain is disclosed. A substrate having a top surface with insulating regions is provided. A bilayer having a polysilicon bottom layer and an insulating top layer, is patterned to form the bottom electrode of the TFT with an insulating layer over it. A first gate insulator is formed in contact with sides of the bottom electrode. A layer of second polysilicon having two end source and drain regions and a middle channel region is formed with the channel region being vertical along the side of the bottom electrode and overlying insulator layer and in contact with the first gate insulator. A second gate insulator is formed on the second polysilicon. A contact opening is etched in the insulating layers overlying the bottom electrode, in a region away from the second polysilicon to expose surface of part of the bottom electrode. A third polysilicon layer is deposited and patterned to have a horizontal region overlapping the contact opening to make contact to the bottom electrode, and to have sidewall electrode regions in contact with the second gate insulator and superadjacent to the channel region act as the top electrode of the TFT. The sidewall spacer electrode regions are connected to the horizontal regions of the third polysilicon. Thus the top and bottom electrode are also electrically connected together. The source and drain regions are doped selectively. By choice of implant conditions, the off-set region having a desired dopant concentration different from the device layer concentration, can be formed at the drain side of the dual gated TFT.

    摘要: A DRAM cell of the trench capacitor type is formed by a simplified process that reduces cost and increases process latitude by forming the trench collar in a single step of expanding a shallow trench horizontally and conformally coating the collar; etching the trench to its final depth and implanting the bottom heavily and doping the walls lightly; recessing the poly liner in a non-critical step that exposes a contact area between the top of the poly and the adjacent transistor electrode.
