Abstract: A method of formation of a deep trench vertical transistor is provided. A deep trench with a sidewall in a doped semiconductor substrate is formed. The semiconductor substrate includes a counterdoped drain region in the surface thereof and a channel alongside the sidewall. The drain region has a top level and a bottom level. A counterdoped source region is formed in the substrate juxtaposed with the sidewall below the channel. A gate oxide layer is formed on the sidewalls of the trench juxtaposed with a gate conductor. Perform the step of recessing the gate conductor below the bottom level of the drain region followed by performing angled ion implantation at an angle ?+? with respect to vertical of a counterdopant into the channel below the source region and performing angled ion implantation at an angle ? with respect to vertical of a dopant into the channel below the source.

Abstract: A fully polysilicon encapsulated metal-containing damascene gate structure is provided that is useful in Gigabit DRAM (dynamic random access memory) device. The fully encapsulated metal-containing damascene gate comprises a semiconductor substrate having a gate oxide layer formed on a surface portion of said substrate; a gate polysilicon layer formed on said gate oxide layer; a metal layer formed on said polysilicon layer; and a cap oxide layer formed on said metal layer, wherein said metal layer is completely encapsulated by said polysilicon and oxide layers. The damascene gate structure may also include polysilicon spacers formed on said gate polysilicon layer and said metal layer is encapsulated therein and outer polysilicon sidewalls that are oxidized.

Abstract: A memory device structure is provided in which the array oxide layer has a thickness that is greater than the thickness of the support oxide layer.
