    Abstract: An array top oxide is protected in the manufacture of vertical metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET) dynamic random access memory (DRAM) arrays by a protective etch stop layer (18) which protects the top oxide (16) and prevents word line to substrate shorts and/or leakage. Processing of a DRAM device containing vertical MOSFET arrays proceeds through planarization of the array gate conductor polysilicon (17) of the vertical MOSFET to the top surface of the top oxide (16). A thin polysilicon layer (18) is deposited over the planarized surface and an active area (AA) pad nitride and tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) stack is deposited. The AA mask is used to open the pad layer to the silicon surface, and shallow trench isolation (STI) etching is used to form isolation trenches (20).

    Abstract: A method of forming relatively thin uniform insulating collar in the storage trench of a storage trench DRAM cell. A DRAM trench is first formed in a silicon substrate. Then, a nitride liner (81) is deposited on the silicon trench walls. The nitride liner may be deposited directly on the silicon walls or on an underlying oxide layer (79). A layer of amorphous silicon (83) is then deposited over the nitride liner. A silicon nitride layer is deposited on the oxidized surface of the amorphous silicon. A resist (83) is formed in the lower portion of the trench, and the exposed silicon nitride layer on top of the amorphous silicon is removed, leaving the upper portion of the amorphous silicon layer exposed. The upper portion of the layer of amorphous silicon is then oxidized so as to form a relatively thin, uniform collar (89) along the entire circumference of the trench. The nitride liner underlying the amorphous silicon layer enhances the thickness uniformity of the amorphous silicon layer and thereby the uniformity of the resulting oxide collar. The nitride liner also acts to limit lateral oxidation of the silicon trench walls during oxidation of the amorphous silicon layer. The nitride liner underlying the collar is also effective in cell operation to control the cell charge at the collar-substrate interface.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a wrapped-gate transistor including a substrate having an upper surface and first and second side surfaces opposing to each other. Source and drain regions (28) are formed in the substrate with a channel region therebetween. The channel region extends from the first side surface to the second side surfaces of the substrate. A gate dielectric layer (40) is formed on the substrate. A gate electrode (42) is formed on the gate dielectric layer (40) to cover the channel region from the upper surface and the first and second side surfaces with the gate dielectric (40) therebetween. The substrate is a silicon island (12) formed on an insulation layer of an SOI (silicon-on-insulator) substrate or a conventional non-SOI substrate, and has four side surfaces including the first and second side surfaces. The source and drain regions (28) are formed on the portions of the substrate adjoining the third and fourth side surfaces which are perpendicular to the first and second side surfaces. The wrapped-gate structure provides a better and quicker potential control within the channel area, which yields steep sub-threshold slope and low sensitivity to the 'body-to-source' voltage.
