摘要:
In a DRAM cell having a trench, a cell capacitor and a cell transistor, a node conducting element connects the cell capacitor to the cell transistor and a collar is disposed about the node conducting element. The collar is disposed in the substrate at least partially, up to entirely outside of the trench. Because the collar is disposed in the substrate outside of the trench, it does not restrict the size of the trench opening. This enables sub-100 nm trenches, using techniques which are compatible with contemporary DRAM process steps. A strap is embedded into a top surface of the collar.

Structures and methods for forming the same. A semiconductor fabrication method comprises a step of providing a semiconductor structure. The semiconductor structure includes a semiconductor substrate and a capacitor electrode on the semiconductor substrate. The capacitor electrode comprises dopants, and is electrically insulated from the semiconductor substrate by a capacitor dielectric layer. The semiconductor structure further includes a semiconductor layer on the semiconductor substrate. The semiconductor layer comprises a trench which partially but not completely overlaps the capacitor electrode. The method further comprises the step of causing some of the dopants of the capacitor electrode to diffuse into the semiconductor layer, resulting in a doped source/drain region. The doped source/drain region overlaps the capacitor electrode and abuts a sidewall of the trench.

Enhanced silicon-on-insulator transistors and methods are provided for implementing enhanced silicon-on-insulator transistors. The enhanced silicon-on-insulator (SOI) transistors include a thin buried oxide (BOX) layer under a device channel and a thick self-aligned buried oxide (BOX) region under SOI source/drain diffusions. A selective epitaxial growth is utilized in the source/drain regions to implement appropriate strain to enhance both PFET and NFET devices simultaneously.

摘要:
A method for simultaneously forming a line interconnect such as a bitline and a borderless contact to diffusion, e.g. bitline contact, is described. A semiconductor substrate having prepatterned gate stacks thereon is covered with a first dielectric to form a first level and then a second dielectric is deposited which forms a second level. Line interconnect openings are defined in the second level by lithography and etching. Etching is continued down to monocrystalline regions in an array region of the substrate to form borderless contact openings coincident to the line interconnects between the gate stacks. The openings are filled with one or more conductors to form contacts to diffusion, e.g. bitline contacts, which are coincident to the line interconnects, e.g. bitlines.
