  • Patent number: 11967628
    Abstract: A semiconductor structure includes a substrate, an isolation layer, a dielectric layer, an insulation layer, a conductor and a capping layer. The substrate has a concave portion. The isolation layer is located on a top surface of the substrate. The dielectric layer is located on the isolation layer. The insulation layer is located on a surface of the concave portion and extends to a sidewall of the isolation layer. The conductor is located on the insulation layer in the concave portion. The conductor has a first top surface and a second top surface, and the first top surface is closer to the dielectric layer than the second top surface. The capping layer is located in the concave portion and covers the conductor.

  • Publication number: 20240040769
    Abstract: A method of fabricating the semiconductor device includes forming a bit line structure over a substrate, forming a spacer structure on a sidewall of the bit line structure, partially removing an upper portion of the spacer structure to form a slope on the spacer structure slanting to the bit line structure, forming a landing pad material to cover the spacer structure and contact the slope, and removing at least a portion of the landing pad material to form a landing pad against the slope.

  • Patent number: 11239111
    Abstract: A method of fabricating a semiconductor device includes forming a first conductive structure over a substrate, successively forming a first spacer layer, a sacrificial layer, and a second spacer layer on the first conductive structure, forming a second conductive structure adjacent the first conductive structure and in contact with a lower portion of the second spacer layer, partially removing an upper portion of the second spacer layer to expose the sacrificial layer, removing the sacrificial layer through a vapor etch process to form an air gap between the lower portion of the second spacer layer and the first spacer layer, and forming a capping layer to cap the air gap.
