    摘要: Dielectric gratings are formed between the word line stacks. Spacers are applied to the sidewalls of the word line stacks and the dielectric gratings. In the openings between the spacers, silicon is epitaxially grown on the upper surfaces of source/drain regions, which are implanted self-aligned to the word line stacks. A silicide is formed on the grown silicon, and a metal layer is applied and structured to form local interconnects, which connect the source/drain regions to upper bit lines.

    摘要: A semiconductor product includes, a substrate with a first dielectric layer having contact hole fillings for contacting active areas in the substrate. A second dielectric layer with contact holes is provided therein. The contact holes have a width in a first lateral direction. The product further includes conductive lines, each conductive line passing over contact holes in the second dielectric layer and contacting a plurality of contact hole fillings in the first dielectric layer. The conductive lines have a width, in the first lateral direction, that is smaller than the width of the contact holes of the second dielectric layer. The conductive lines are in direct mechanical contact with the contact hole fillings and thereby remove the need to provide any conventional “contact to interconnect” structures.

    摘要: A semiconductor product (1) includes a plurality of wordlines extending along a first lateral direction (x) along a substrate surface (22) and also includes contact structures (3) as well as filling structures (4) therebetween. Along the first direction (x) the contact structures (3) and the filling structures (4) are arranged in alternating order between two respective wordlines. Each contact structure (3) serves to connect two active areas (23) separated by one respective trench isolation filling (24) to a respective bitline (14). Accordingly, the width of the first contact structures (3) is much larger than the width of the bitlines (14) along the first direction (x). According to embodiments of the invention, tapered upper portions (9) of the contact structures (3) are shaped, the upper portions (9) having a width being significantly smaller than the width of the contact structures (3) along the first direction (x). Thereby, forming the bitlines (14) in direct contact to top surfaces (7) of contact structures (3) is possible without the risk of short circuits between adjacent bitlines (14).

    摘要翻译: 半导体产品(1)包括沿衬底表面(22)沿着第一横向(x)延伸的多个字线,并且还包括接触结构(3)以及它们之间的填充结构(4)。 沿着第一方向(x),接触结构(3)和填充结构(4)以两个相应字线之间的交替顺序排列。 每个接触结构(3)用于将由一个相应的沟槽隔离填充物(24)分开的两个有效区域(23)连接到相应的位线(14)。 因此,第一接触结构(3)的宽度比沿着第一方向(x)的位线(14)的宽度大得多。 根据本发明的实施例,接触结构(3)的锥形上部(9)成形,上部(9)的宽度明显小于接触结构(3)沿着第一方向(3)的宽度 X)。 因此,形成与接触结构(3)的顶表面(7)直接接触的位线(14)是可能的,而不会在相邻位线(14)之间发生短路。
