  • Patent number: 7384849
    Abstract: The invention includes methods of forming recessed access devices. A substrate is provided to have recessed access device trenches therein. A pair of the recessed access device trenches are adjacent one another. Electrically conductive material is formed within the recessed access device trenches, and source/drain regions are formed proximate the electrically conductive material. The electrically conductive material and source/drain regions together are incorporated into a pair of adjacent recessed access devices. After the recessed access device trenches are formed within the substrate, an isolation region trench is formed between the adjacent recessed access devices and filled with electrically insulative material to form a trenched isolation region.

  • Patent number: 6774485
    Abstract: A carrier and package for plural semiconductor devices includes a member with device-conformal apertures therethrough. A first removable cover is attached to one side of the member to close one end of each aperture. After devices are inserted into the apertures with their first ends “up” and their second ends “down,” a second removable cover is attached to the other side of the member to close the other end of each aperture. After inverting the assembly, removal of the first cover presents the devices in the apertures with their second ends “up” and their first ends “down.
