Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a high-density integrated circuit device by which a floating body effect of a transistor can be avoided. SOLUTION: A vertical MOS transistor includes a series of layers SF, SF* arranged on a first conductive type substrate 1. The series of layers comprise a lower layer U for a first source/drain region, an intermediate layer M doped with a first conductive type to act as a channel region, and an upper layer O for a second source/drain region. A connection structure V doped with the first conductive type is arranged on a first surface of the series of layers SF, SF* to electrically connect the channel region to the substrate 1. A gate electrode of the transistor is arranged on a second surface of the series of layers SF, SF*. The connection structure V can be arranged between the series of layers SF, SF* and the same or another series of layers SF, SF*. The dimension of the connection structure V or the like can be a lithography dimension or less. The manufactured circuit is suitable for a storage cell arrangement. COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
A trench capacitor (30) is arranged in a first trench (25) for production of a semiconductor memory (5). A first longitudinal trench (55) is arranged in the substrate (15) next to the first trench (25) and parallel thereto on the other side of the first trench (25), a second longitudinal trench (60) is arranged therein. A first spacer word line (70) is arranged in the first longitudinal trench (55) and a second spacer word line (75) is arranged in the second longitudinal trench (60). Connecting webs (80) are arranged in the first trench (25) between the first spacer word line (70) and the second spacer word line (75) with a thickness (110), which is smaller in the direction of the first spacer word line (70) than half the width of the first trench (25) in the direction of the first spacer word line (70).
Abstract:
The invention relates to a lithographic method for removing a thin masking layer, particularly a Si3N4 layer on a side of a recess in a semi-conductor arrangement. According to the invention, an ion beam is orientated in an inclined manner at a certain angle towards the recess, enabling the thin masking layer to be removed in the regions exposed to the beams.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a semiconductor memory cell arrangement comprising dynamic memory cells (10) which each have a trench capacitor (1) and a vertical selection transistor (2). Said vertical selection transistor (2) is situated essentially above the trench capacitor (1) and has a series of layers which is offset from the inner electrode of the trench capacitor (1) and which is connected to said inner electrode (11) of the trench capacitor (1). An active intermediate layer (22) is completely surrounded by an insulator layer (24) and a gate electrode layer (25) which is connected to a word line (7). The dynamic memory cells (10) are arranged in the form of a matrix, the trench capacitors (1) and the corresponding vertical selection transistors (2) of the dynamic memory cells (10) succeeding each other in a line and/or column sequence, respectively.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for the production of an integrated semiconductor circuit, whereby electrical contacts (20), for first conducting structures (1), are produced in the memory region (I) and the first conducting structures (1) are contacted, without contacting second conducting structures (2) arranged laterally with respect to the first conducting structures (1), which laterally border the first conducting structures (1) or are arranged too close to the same to be selectively lithographically masked. According to the invention, the first conducting structures (1) are contacted, whereby a conducting layer (L) is deposited and structured after a planarisation in the memory region at the level of the first conducting structures (1) above the second conducting structures (2), which is applied in the logic region for the generation of gate electrodes, for example. Intermediate contacts (10) are thus structured which are so wide that contact holes for the electrical contacts can be fitted thereon. The deposition of a nitride layer for the protection of the second conducting layer (2) is thus superfluous.

Memory cell comprises a storage capacitor formed in a trench inserted into a semiconductor substrate (13) away from the substrate surface (14), a transistor (6) arranged between the substrate surface and an upper edge of an inner electrode (4), a source/drain region connected to the inner electrode, and a gate electrode (8). An auxiliary structure (15) is formed in active regions (10) and an addressing line (11) is formed in the region between the substrate surface and the upper edge of the auxiliary structure. An independent claim is also included for a process for the production of the memory cell.
Abstract:
A depression is produced in a substrate for a capacitor of a memory cell of the DRAM cell configuration. An insulation and a storage node of the capacitor are produced in the depression. A spacer made of silicon is produced above the storage node. A first part of the spacer is doped by inclined implantation. The spacer is patterned by utilizing the different doping of the first part of the spacer. With the aid of the patterned spacer as a mask, the storage node and the insulation are altered in such a way that the storage node directly adjoins the substrate only in a limited patch of a sidewall of the depression and is otherwise isolated from the substrate by the insulation.
