A method and structure for a memory storage cell in a semiconductor substrate includes forming a dopant source material over a lower portion of a deep trench formed in the substrate. An upper portion of the trench is shaped to a generally rectangular configuration, and the dopant source material is annealed so as to form a buried plate of a trench capacitor. The buried plate is self aligned to the shaped upper portion of the trench.

A deep trench capacitor used in a trench DRAM includes a buried plate and an isolation collar. The deep trench is bottle-shaped, and the isolation collar is formed in upper portion of the wider region of the bottle-shaped trench. The buried plate surrounds the lower portion of the wider part of the bottle-shaped trench, and hemispherical grain polysilicon lines the walls of at least the lower portion of the wider part of the trench. A nitride liner layer lines the inner walls of the oxide collar and prevents diffusion of dopant through the oxide collar into the substrate when the HSG polysilicon and the doped buried plate are formed. The buried plate region is self-aligned to the isolation collar. The depth of the top of the wider part of the bottle shape and the bottom depth of the isolation collar are determined by successive resist deposition and recessing steps.
摘要:
A method of forming a buried dielectric collar around a trench and of forming a trench capacitor, the buried dielectric collar formed by: (a) forming the trench in a substrate; (b) forming a multilayer coating on sidewalls and a bottom of the trench; (c) removing a continuous band of the multilayer coating from the sidewalls a fixed distance from a top of the trench to expose a continuous band substrate in the sidewalls of the trench; (d) etching, in said exposed band of substrate, a lateral trench extending into said substrate in said sidewalls of said trench; and (e) filling the lateral trench with a dielectric material to form the buried dielectric collar. The trench capacitor is formed by filling the trench or its variants with polysilicon.

A method of fabricating a vertical field effect transistor (“FET”) is provided which includes a transistor body region and source and drain regions disposed in a single-crystal semiconductor-on-insulator (“SOI”) region of a substrate adjacent a sidewall of a trench. The substrate includes a buried insulator layer underlying the SOI region and a bulk region underlying the buried insulator layer. A buried strap conductively connects the SOI region to a lower node disposed below the SOI region and a body contact extends from the transistor body region to the bulk region of the substrate, the body contact being insulated from the buried strap.

Structures including a self-aligned strap for embedded trench memory (e.g., trench capacitor) on hybrid orientation technology (HOT) substrate, and related method, are disclosed. One structure includes a hybrid orientation substrate including a semiconductor-on-insulator (SOI) section and a bulk semiconductor section; a transistor over the SOI section; a trench capacitor in the bulk semiconductor section; and a self-aligned strap extending from a source/drain region of the transistor to an electrode of the trench capacitor. The method does not require additional masks to generate the strap, results in a self-aligned strap and improved device performance. In one embodiment, the strap is a silicide strap.
