Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a double work function doping and a borderless array diffusion contact. SOLUTION: This method includes steps for forming a semiconductor substrate 5, a gate insulator 10, conductors 61, 12 on the gate insulator, an insulation cap on the conductors, and an insulation spacer 92 on part of the sidewall of the conductors and of the insulation cap. This method also includes a step for doping a part of the semiconductor substrate and of the conductors with a first conductive dopant and the other part with a second conductive dopant. The conductors are annealed, to allow the first and the second conductive dopants to spread crossing into into each conductor.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide the structure of a built-in DRAM with a vertical device array and a bordered bit line contact, and a manufacturing method of the built-in DRAM. SOLUTION: In an integrated circuit including a dynamic random access memory (DRAM), a DRAM cell has a storage capacitor in a deep trench, a transistor which has channels extending along side walls of the deep trench and a gate conductor in the deep trench, and a word line which makes contact with the gate conductor from above. The word line has a center line deviating from the center line of the gate conductor. The DRAM cell also has active regions extending from channels of the transistor and a bit line contact to the active regions, which are bordered by insulation spacers on side walls of the word line.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a metal-insulator-metal capacitor having improved manufacturing possibility, and to provide a method for fabricating the same. SOLUTION: A semiconductor structure including the vertical metal-insulator-metal capacitor, and a method for fabricating the semiconductor structure including the vertical metal-insulator-metal capacitor, each use structural components from a dummy metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor located and formed over an isolation region located over a semiconductor substrate. The dummy metal oxide field effect transistor may be formed simultaneously with a metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor located over a semiconductor substrate that includes the isolation region. The metal-insulator-metal capacitor uses a gate as a capacitor plate, a uniform thickness gate spacer as a gate dielectric and a contact via as another capacitor plate. The uniform thickness gate spacer may include a conductor layer for enhanced capacitance. A mirrored metal-insulator-metal capacitor structure that uses a single contact via may also be used for enhanced capacitance. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provides a structure including a trench capacitor array at least part of which is arranged under an embedded oxide layer of an SOI substrate. SOLUTION: Each trench capacitor shares a common unitary embedded capacitor plate including at least part of a first unitary semiconductor region arranged under an embedded oxide layer. An upper boundary of the embedded capacitor plate defines a plane extending laterally over the whole trench capacitor array parallel to the major surface of a substrate. In a particular embodiment starting at an SOI substrate or a bulk substrate, the trench array and contact holes are formed at the same time such that the contact holes extend in the same depth as that of the trenches. Preferably, the width of the contact hole is substantially large compared with that of the trench, thereby forming conductive contact vias at the same time by processing used for forming a trench capacitor extending along the wall of the trench.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method of forming a single bit line contact on a vertical transistor of a DRAM/e-DRAM device using a line forming master mask. SOLUTION: By forming a patterning mask on the device with the line forming master mask, the part of the top surface of a gate electrode 100 is exposed on the top surface of a substrate. A divot reaching in the gate electrode alongside with a side wall spacer 300 juxtaposed with a source region 130 is etched, and filled with a dielectric material. A word line WL having a silicon nitride cap 220 is formed to be contacted with a gate electrode 100. An etching resistant conformal liner 230 is formed, and an ILD layer and a glass layer are formed. A bit line contact mask is formed to be patterned with the line forming master mask. A via hole BCV is etched to be juxtaposed with the side wall spacer 300 and reach to the source region 130, and the bit line contact is formed. COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO&NCIPI
