    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: A memory device formed in a substrate having a trench with side walls formed in the substrate. The device includes a bit line conductor and a word line conductor. A signal storage node has a first electrode, a second electrode formed within the trench, and a node dielectric formed between the first and second electrodes. A signal transfer device has: (i) an annular signal transfer region with an outer surface adjacent the side walls of the trench, an inner surface, a first end, and a second end; (ii) a first diffusion region coupling the first end of the signal transfer region to the. second electrode of the signal storage node; (iii) a second diffusion region coupling the second end of the signal transfer region to the bit line conductor; (iv) a gate insulator coating the inner surface of the signal transfer region; and (v) a gate conductor coating the gate insulator and coupled to the word line. A conductive connecting member couples the signal transfer region to a reference voltage to reduce floating body effects.

    Abstract: A wrapped-gate transistor includes a substrate having an upper surface and first and second side surfaces opposing to each other. Source and drain regions 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 is formed on the substrate. A gate electrode is formed on the gate dielectric layer to cover the channel region from the upper surface and the first and second side surfaces with the gate dielectric therebetween. The substrate is a silicon island formed on an insulation layer of an SOI (silicon-on-insulator) substrate or on a conventional non-SOI substrate, and has four side surfaces including the first and second side surfaces. The source and drain regions 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.

    Abstract: A low-GIDL current MOSFET device structure and a method of fabrication thereof which provides a low-GIDL current. The MOSFET device structure contains a central gate conductor whose edges may slightly overlap the source/drain diffusions, and left and right side wing gate conductors which are separated from the central gate conductor by a thin insulating and diffusion barrier layer.
