Abstract: In a method for making an electrical connection between a trench storage capacitor and an access transistor in a DRAM cell, the electrical connection (90) is formed through the selectively controlled outdiffusion of either N-type or P-type dopants present in the trench through a single crystalline semiconducting material (60) which is grown by epitaxy (epi) from the trench sidewall. This epitaxially grown single crystalline layer acts as a barrier to excessive dopant outdiffusion which can occur in the processing of conventional DRAMs.
