  • Patent number: 6821842
    Abstract: A dynamic random access memory (DRAM) structure and a fabricating process thereof are provided. In the fabricating process, a channel region is formed with a doped region having identical conductivity as the substrate in a section adjacent to an isolation structure. The doped region is formed in a self-aligned process by conducting a tilt implantation implanting ions into the substrate through the upper portion of the capacitor trench adjacent to the channel region after forming the trench but before the definition of the active region.

  • Publication number: 20040079979
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a trench capacitor that includes providing a semiconductor substrate, forming a deep trench in the substrate, forming a thin sacrificial layer on a surface of the trench, and forming a hemispherical silicon grain layer over the thin sacrificial layer, wherein the sacrificial layer has a thickness to act as an etch stop during a subsequent step to remove at least a portion of the hemispherical silicon grain layer, and is electrically conductive.

  • Patent number: 6680237
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a deep trench capacitor. A deep trench is formed in a substrate. A conformal capacitor dielectric layer and a first conductive layer are sequentially formed, completely filling the deep trench. The first conductive layer has a seam. The first conductive layer is etched to open up the seam. A collar oxide layer is formed over the interior surface of the deep trench. A collar liner layer is formed over the collar oxide layer inside the deep trench. Using the collar liner layer as a mask, the collar oxide material above the first conductive layer and within the seam is removed. The collar liner layer is removed. Finally, a second conductive layer and a third conductive layer are sequentially formed inside the deep trench.
