摘要:
To form a semiconductor device, a plurality of upwardly extending conductors can be formed. The conductors extend outward from a surface of a semiconductor body, adjacent ones of the conductors being separated from each other by a separating material. At least one support structure is formed between adjacent ones of the upwardly extending conductors. The support structure is formed of a material different than the separating material. The separating material can be removed and further processing can be performed on the semiconductor device.

摘要:
At least a partial layer of an upper capacitor electrode is formed by metal carbide, preferably by a transition metal carbide. In one embodiment, the metal carbide layer is formed by depositing an alternating sequence of metal-containing layers and carbon-containing layers on top of one another and then subjecting them to a heat treatment, in such a manner that they mix with one another. The patterning of the layer sequence can be carried out before the carbide formation step.

摘要:
A method produces stacked capacitors for dynamic memory cells, in which a number of trenches (48) are formed in the masking layer (40), each trench (48) being arranged above a respective contact plug (26) and extending from the top (42) of the masking layer (40) to the contact plugs (26). A conductive layer (50) covers the side walls (49) of the trenches (48) and the contact plugs (26) in order to form a first electrode (60) of a stacked capacitor (12). In an upper region (63), which is remote from the contact stack (26), the conductive layer (50) is replaced by an insulating layer, so that it is not possible for a short circuit to arise in the event of any adhesion between adjacent electrodes.

摘要:
A capacitor for a dynamic semiconductor memory cell, a memory and method of making a memory is disclosed. In one embodiment, a storage electrode of the capacitor has a pad-shaped lower section and a cup-shaped upper section, which is placed on top of the lower section. A lower section of a backside electrode encloses the pad-shaped section of the storage electrode. An upper section of the backside electrode is enclosed by the cup-shaped upper section of the storage electrode. A first capacitor dielectric separates the lower sections of the backside and the storage electrodes. A second capacitor dielectric separates the upper sections of the backside and the storage electrodes. The electrode area of the capacitor is enlarged while the requirements for the deposition of the capacitor dielectric are relaxed. Aspect ratios for deposition and etching processes are reduced.
