  • Patent number: 7485909
    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor substrate formed with a trench having a sidewall including a middle point. The trench includes a first part extending from a surface of the semiconductor substrate to the middle point of the trench and having a diameter that is gradually reduced as the first part extends deeper from the surface of the semiconductor substrate to the middle point of the trench. The trench includes a second part that is deeper than the middle point of the sidewall and that has a larger diameter than the middle point of the sidewall. An electrically conductive film is formed in an interior of the trench so as to be located lower than the middle point of the sidewall, the conductive film having a planarized upper surface, and a collar insulating film is formed on the conductive film and the sidewall of the trench so as to extend through the middle point of the sidewall along the sidewall.

    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor substrate and first and second trenches. The first trench with a high aspect ratio is formed in a surface of the semiconductor substrate and has a bottom, two sidewalls and an open end. The first trench is formed so that at the bottom side, an inclination of each sidewall relative to the bottom has a first angle approximate to a right angle and at the bottom side, the inclination of each sidewall relative to the bottom has a second angle smaller than the first angle. The second trench has a lower aspect ratio than the first trench. The second trench has a bottom, two sidewalls and an open end and is formed so that an inclination of each sidewall relative to the bottom is substantially uniform from the bottom side to the open end side and has a third angle which is approximate to the second angle.
