Abstract: A high density integrated circuit structure, for example a dynamic memory cell, is described which includes an active/passive device in combination with a capacitor structure. The capacitor structure is of the polysilicon-oxide-silicon type and is formed on the sidewalls of a mesa-shaped and dielectrically isolated region of silicon material resulting from the formation of an isolation trench in the silicon. The trench is filled with a plastic material, such as polyimide. The capacitor is formed by the isolated region of silicon material which functions as the first capacitor plate, a doped polysilicon layer provided on the vertical walls of the mesa serving as the second capacitor plate and a thin dielectric layer interposed between the two plates serving as the capacitor's dielectric. Since the polysilicon is wrapped around the periphery of the mesa as a coating on the vertical sidewalls thereof, it gives rise to a large storage capacitance without an increase in the cell size.

Abstract: A method for forming integrated circuits having a pattern of narrow dimensioned dielectric regions and, more particularly self-aligned metal process is described which achieves self-aligned metal to silicon contacts and sub-micron contact-to-contact and metal-to-metal spacing. The insulation between the contacts and the metal is a pattern of dielectric material having a thickness dimension in the order of a micron or less. The metal or dielectric structure is substantially planar. The method of forming integrated circuits with this structure involves providing a silicon body (50, 51) and then forming a first insulating layer (52) on a major surface of the silicon body. A layer of polycrystalline silicon (53) is formed thereover. Openings are made in the polycrystalline silicon layer by reactive ion etching which results in the structure having substantially horizontal surfaces and substantially vertical surfaces. A second insulating layer (55) is then formed on both the substantially horizontal surfaces and substantially vertical surfaces. Reactive ion etching of this second insulating layer substantially removes the horizontal layers and provides a narrow dimensioned dielectric pattern of regions (56) on the major surface of the silicon body (50). The remaining polycrystalline silicon layer (53) is then removed by etching to leave the narrow dimensioned regions (56) on the major surfaces of the silicon body. A conductive layer is blanket desposited over the narrow dimensioned regions and areas in between. A blanket layer of a plastic material over the conductive layer to planarize the surface is accomplished. Reactive ion etching the plastic material and the conductive layer is continued until the tops of the narrow dimensioned regions (56) are reached leaving the structure of patterns (59 to 64) of metal filling the regions between the pattern of dielectric material having a thickness dimension in the order of a micron or less.
