    摘要: An integrated circuit, such as a DRAM circuit, having a plurality of cells is formed in containers formed an isolation layer positioned on an first surface of a semiconductor substrate. The containers have a first region located proximal the first surface of the semiconductor substrate that has a first cross-sectional area and a second region located distal from the first surface of the semiconductor substrate that has a second cross-sectional area that is less than the first cross-sectional area. Cells, such as capacitors, are formed in the containers and the isolation material positioned between adjacent cells is removed so that a generally horizontal surface is formed. The horizontal surface is located closer to the first surface of the substrate than the transition between the first region and the second region of the container so that substantially vertical surfaces are formed in the isolation region linking the cells to the horizontal surface of the isolation layer. The addition of the vertical surfaces on the isolation region increases the surface path upon which leakage current will flow between adjacent cells thereby decreasing the likelihood of leakage currents travelling from one cell to an adjacent cell.
