  • Publication number: 20240096930
    Abstract: Some implementations described herein include a deep trench capacitor structure and methods of formation. The deep trench capacitor structure may penetrate vertically into a silicon substrate. In some implementations, formation of the deep trench capacitor structure includes forming segments of a deep trench capacitor recess using a combination of in-situ oxidation/nitridation, ex-situ deposition, and reactive ion etching techniques. By forming the deep trench capacitor recess using the in-situ oxidation/nitridation operation, the ex-situ deposition, and the reactive ion etching techniques, a deep trench capacitor structure may be formed that meets target critical dimensions and has an aspect ratio of approximately 50:1.
