  • Patent number: 7081649
    Abstract: A technology for a semiconductor integrated circuitry allows each of the DRAM memory cells to be divided finely so as to be more highly integrated and operate faster. In a method of manufacturing such a semiconductor integrated circuit, at first, gate electrodes 7 are formed via a gate insulating film 6 on the main surface of a semiconductor substrate 1, and on side surfaces of each of the gate electrodes there is formed a first side wall spacer 14 composed of silicon nitride and a second side wall spacer 15 composed of silicon oxide. Then, in the selecting MISFET Qs in the DRAM memory cell area there are opened connecting holes 19 and 21 in a self-matching manner with respect to the first side wall spacers 14 and connecting portion is formed connecting a conductor 20 to a bit line BL.

  • Patent number: 5684315
    Abstract: A semiconductor memory device has memory cells provided at intersections between word line conductors and data line conductors. Each of the memory cells includes a cell selecting transistor and an information storage capacitor. The capacitor in each of the memory cells includes a first capacitor component formed over the control electrode of the transistor and a second capacitor component formed over a word line conductor which is adjacent to a word line conductor integral with the control electrode of the transistor. Each of the first and second capacitor components has a common electrode, a storage electrode and a dielectric film sandwiched therebetween, and the storage electrode is at a level higher than the common electrode in each of said first and second capacitor components. The storage electrodes of the first and second capacitor components are electrically connected with each other and with one of the semiconductor regions of the transistor.
