Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for the production of a semi-conductor structure comprising a plurality of gate stacks (GS1 - GS8) which are arranged on a semi-conductor substrate (1). Said method comprises the following steps: applying the gate-stack (GS1 - GS8) to a gate dielectric (5) via the semi-conductor substrate (1); implanting doping (100, 105, 110, 120, 130; 105''', 110''', 120''', 130''', 140''') which is self-adjusted in relation to the edges of the gate stack (GS1 - GS8); and forming an side wall oxide (40) on the free side walls of the gate stack (GS1 - GS8) while at the same time forming diffused doping areas (100', 110', 120', 130'; 110''', 120''', 130''', 140''') below the gate stack. The invention also relates to said type of semi-conductor structure.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for producing a vertical transistor, and to a vertical transistor. A sacrificial gate oxide and a sacrificial gate electrode are used during the production of the vertical transistor to makes it possible to considerably reduce or entirely avoid negative effects that normally result from the production of insulation structures between the vertical transistors. In particular, broadening of the gate oxide at the edge of the gate electrode can be prevented, and the edge of the gate electrode can be influenced deliberately. This allows vertical transistors to be produced having a current/voltage characteristic that can be adjusted specifically. In particular, vertical transistors can be produced having a pronounced corner effect.
Abstract:
A method of fabricating semiconductor memory devices is simplified by providing at least some plug regions, which are provided for contacting storage capacitor devices of a capacitor configuration, such that the plug regions have in each case a region that is elevated above the surface region of a passivation region.
Abstract:
Production of a semiconductor storage device comprises: forming a semiconductor substrate (20), a passivating region (21) and/or a surface region (20a, 21a) with a complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) structure; forming capacitor arrangements (10-1,..., 10-4); and contacting the capacitor arrangements with the CMOS structure using contact regions or plug regions (P1, P2). At least one part of the contact regions or plug regions are formed with a region raised above the surface region of the passivating region. Preferred Features: The contact regions or plug regions are formed in a common process step, preferably after forming the passivating region.
Abstract:
A trench cell for use in a DRAM array includes a vertical selection transistor of a first conductivity type at the-seen in the bit line direction-first side of the trench hole, a blocking doping region near the surface, of a second conductivity type, is provided adjacent to the trench hole, the blocking doping region lying opposite the vertical selection transistor. As a result, leakage currents can be avoided and, in addition, the trench cells can be disposed at a shorter distance from one another.
Abstract:
A memory cell comprises a trench capacitor with electrodes (9,11) and a dielectric layer (10) in the base with a vertical select transistor (TR) above this with a channel connecting electrode and a bit line (BL). The channel partly encloses the trench hole and the corresponding word line (WL) at least partly encloses the channel. Independent claims are also included for the following: (a) a memory cell arrangement as above;and (b) a production process for the above
