Abstract: A method of using at least two insulative layers to form the isolation collar of a trench capacitor, and the device formed therefrom. The first layer is preferably an oxide (e.g., silicon dioxide 116) formed on the trench substrate sidewalls, and is formed through a TEOS, LOCOS, or combined TEOS/LOCOS process. Preferably, both the TEOS process and the LOCOS process are used to form the first layer. The second layer is preferably a silicon nitride layer (114) formed on the oxide layer. The multiple layers function as an isolation collar stack for the trench. The dopant penetration barrier properties of the second layer permit the dielectric collar stack to be used as a self aligned mask for subsequent buried plate (120) doping.

Abstract: A system and method of forming an electrical connection (142) to the interior of a deep trench (104) in an integrated circuit utilizing a low-angle dopant implantation (114) to create a self-aligned mask over the trench. The electrical connection preferably connects the interior plate (110) of a trench capacitor to a terminal of a vertical trench transistor. The low-angle implantation process, in combination with a low-aspect ratio mask structure, generally enables the doping of only a portion of a material overlying or in the trench. The material may then be subjected to a process step, such as oxidation, with selectivity between the doped and undoped regions. Another process step, such as an etch process, may then be used to remove a portion of the material (120) overlying or in the trench, leaving a self-aligned mask (122) covering a portion of the trench, and the remainder of the trench exposed for further processing. Alternatively, an etch process alone, with selectivity between the doped and undoped regions, may be used to create the mask. The self-aligned mask then allows for the removal of selective portions of the materials in the trench so that a vertical trench transistor and a buried strap may be formed on only one side of the trench.

Abstract: A method for clearing an isolation collar (5) from a first interior surface of a deep trench at a location above a storage capacitor while leaving the isolation collar at other surfaces of the deep trench. A insulating material is deposited above a node conductor (3) of the storage capacitor. A layer of silicon (9) is deposited over the barrier material. Dopant ions are implanted at an angle (11) into the layer of deposited silicon within the deep trench, thereby leaving the deposited silicon unimplanted along one side of the deep trench. The unimplanted silicon is etched. The isolation collar is removed in locations previously covered by the unimplanted silicon, leaving the isolation collar in locations covered by the implanted silicon.
