    摘要: A memory cell is formed for a memory cell array that is comprised of a plurality of the memory cells arranged in rows and columns. Deep trenches having sidewalls is formed within a semiconductor substrate. A buried plate region adjoining a deep trench is formed within the semiconductor substrate, and a dielectric film is formed along the sidewalls of the deep trench. A masking layer is patterned such that a portion of the dielectric film is covered by the masking layer and a remaining portion of the dielectric film is exposed. An upper region of the exposed portion of the dielectric film is removed such that a trench collar is formed along a middle portion of a side of the deep trench. The deep trench is partly filled with doped polysilicon. The dopants in the polysilicon diffuse through the side of the deep trench into adjoining regions of the semiconductor substrate during subsequent thermal processing steps to form a buried strap region along a side of the deep trench. The semiconductor substrate is patterned and etched to form at least one isolation trench that adjoins the isolation trench and two of the deep trenches and includes a buried strap region. The patterning uses a mask comprised of a lines and spaces pattern such that at least one active area is defined by the isolation trench and by the deep trench. Each of the lines and the spaces extends across the memory cell array.

    摘要: The vertical MOSFET structure used in forming dynamic random access memory comprises a gate stack structure comprising one or more silicon nitride spacers; a vertical gate polysilicon region disposed in an array trench, wherein the vertical gate polysilicon region comprises one or more silicon nitride spacers; a bitline diffusion region; a shallow trench isolation region bordering the array trench; and wherein the gate stack structure is disposed on the vertical gate polysilicon region such that the silicon nitride spacers of the gate stack structure and vertical gate polysilicon region form a borderless contact with both the bitline diffusion region and shallow trench isolation region. The vertical gate polysilicon is isolated from both the bitline diffusion and shallow trench isolation region by the nitride spacer, which provides reduced bitline capacitance and reduced incidence of bitline diffusion to vertical gate shorts.

A relaxed layer of SiGe, SiC, or similar material is formed on the buffer layer and places the strained material in the tensile or compressive state. In another embodiment, carbon-doped silicon or germanium-doped silicon is used to form the strained material. The structure includes a multi-layered substrate having strained and non-strained materials patterned thereon.

    摘要: A dual node dielectric trench capacitor includes a stack of layers formed in a trench. The stack of layers include, from bottom to top, a first conductive layer, a first node dielectric layer, a second conductive layer, a second node dielectric layer, and a third conductive layer. The dual node dielectric trench capacitor includes two back-to-back capacitors, which include a first capacitor and a second capacitor. The first capacitor includes the first conductive layer, the first node dielectric layer, the second conductive layer, and the second capacitor includes the second conductive layer, the second node dielectric layer, and the third conductive layer. The dual node dielectric trench capacitor can provide about twice the capacitance of a trench capacitor employing a single node dielectric layer having a comparable composition and thickness as the first and second node dielectric layers.
