Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a dynamic random access memory formed at a semiconductor body comprising individual paired memory cell separated each other by a vertical electric isolation trench and separated from a support circuit. SOLUTION: An isolation trench 20, comprising a side wall, upper part, and lower part, encloses the region of a semiconductor body 10 comprising a memory cell. Thus, the paired memory cell is electrically separated each other, while separated from a support circuit which is not in the enclosed region but contained in the semiconductor body. The isolation trench lower-part is filled with a conductive material 14, which material comprises a side wall part which is at least partially separated from the trench lower-part side wall by a first electric insulator and a lower part electrically connecting to the semiconductor body. The isolation trench upper-part is filled with a second electric insulator.
Abstract:
Semiconductor device and method of manufacturing the same are provided. A trench is formed in a semiconductor substrate. A thin oxide liner is preferably formed on surfaces of the trench. After formation of the oxide liner, first regions of the semiconductor substrate are masked, leaving second regions thereof exposed. N-type devices are to be formed in the first regions and p-type devices are to be formed in the second regions. N-type ions may then be implanted into sidewalls of the trenches in the second regions. The mask is stripped and formation of the semiconductor device may be carried out in a conventional manner. The n-type ions are preferably only implanted into sidewalls where PMOSFETs are formed.

A semiconductor device and method of manufacturing thereof are provided. A trench is formed in a semiconductor substrate. A thin oxide liner is preferably formed on surfaces of the trench. A nitride liner is formed in the trench. Charge is trapped in the nitride liner. In a preferred embodiment, the trench is filled with an oxide by an HDP process to increase the amount of charge trapped in the nitride liner. Preferably, the oxide fill is formed directly on the nitride liner.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide particular performance data that are not generally obtained by a large-scale integrated testing method by evaluating the performance characteristic of each memory cell in particular about a random access memory cell. SOLUTION: The present invention provides an on-chip circuit and a testing method which evaluate transistor electric charge transfer performance and electric charge storage capability of a DRAM cell in an real operating environment. The on-chip circuit and the testing method can evaluate deterioration of a cell transfer device by a MOSFET deterioration mechanism that becomes active at the time of electric charge transfer or storage in an operating state or burn-in state. The on-chip circuit forces and senses voltage in each DRAM storage capacitor, displays each storage capacitor charge leakage rate and enables a pulse testing method for calculating an electric charge transfer rate between a bit line of the DRAM cell and the storage capacitor.
