摘要:
A deep trench self-alignment process for an active area of a partial vertical cell. A semiconductor substrate with two deep trenches is provided. A deep trench capacitor is formed in each deep trench, and an isolating layer is formed thereon. Each trench is filled with a mask layer. A photoresist layer is formed on the semiconductor substrate between the deep trenches, and the photoresist layer partially covers the mask layer. The semiconductor substrate is etched lower than the isolating layer using the photoresist layer and the mask layer as masks. The photoresist layer and the mask layer are removed, such that the pillar semiconductor substrate between the deep trenches functions as an active area.
摘要:
A novel trench-capacitor DRAM cell structure is disclosed. The trench-capacitor DRAM cell of this invention includes an active area island having a horizontal semiconductor surface and a vertical sidewall contiguous with the horizontal semiconductor surface. A pass transistor is disposed at the corner of the active area island. The pass transistor includes a folded gate conductor strip extending from the horizontal semiconductor surface to the vertical sidewall of the active area island, a source formed in the horizontal semiconductor surface, a drain formed in the vertical sidewall, and a gate oxide layer underneath the folded gate conductor strip. The source and drain define a folded channel. The trench-capacitor DRAM cell further includes a trench capacitor that is insulated from the folded gate conductor strip by a trench top oxide (TTO) layer and is coupled to the pass transistor via the drain.

摘要:
A partial vertical memory cell and fabrication method thereof. A semiconductor substrate is provided, in which two deep trenches having deep trench capacitors respectively are formed, and the deep trench capacitors are lower than a top surface of the semiconductor substrate. A portion of the semiconductor outside the deep trenches is removed to form a pillar between. The pillar is ion implanted to form an ion-doped area in the pillar corner acting as a S/D area. A gate dielectric layer and a conducting layer are conformally formed on the pillar sequentially. An isolation is formed in the semiconductor substrate beside the conducting layer. The conducting layer is defined to form a first gate and a second gate.
摘要:
A memory device with vertical transistors and deep trench capacitors. The device includes a substrate containing at least one deep trench and a capacitor deposited in the lower portion of the deep trench. A conducting structure, having a first conductive layer and a second conductive layer, is deposited on the trench capacitor. A ring shaped insulator is deposited on the sidewall and between the substrate and the first conductive layer. The first conductive layer is surrounded by the ring shaped insulator, and the second conductive layer is deposited on the first conductive layer and the ring shaped insulator. A diffusion barrier between the second conductive layer and the substrate of the deep trench is deposited on one side of the sidewall of the deep trench. A TTO is deposited on the conducting structure. A control gate is deposited on the TTO.

A dynamic random access memory (DRAM) cell layout for arranging deep trenches and active areas and a fabrication method thereof. An active area comprises two vertical transistors, a common bitline contact and two deep trenches. The first vertical transistor is formed on a region where the first deep trench is partially overlapped with the first gate conductive line. The second vertical transistor is formed on a region where the second deep trench is partially overlapped with the second gate conductive line.
摘要:
A double corner rounding process for a partial vertical cell. A first corner rounding process is performed after etching the substrate to form a shallow trench for device isolation. A second corner rounding process is performed after forming shallow trench isolations (STIs) and exposing the corner of the substrate at the active areas in the memory cell array region.
