  • Publication number: 20170365606
    Abstract: After forming a laterally contacting pair of a semiconductor fin and a conductive strap structure having a base portion vertically contacting a deep trench capacitor embedded in a substrate and a fin portion laterally contacting the semiconductor fin, conducting spikes that are formed on the sidewalls of the deep trench are removed or pushed deeper into the deep trench. Subsequently, a dielectric cap that inhibits epitaxial growth of a semiconductor material thereon is formed over at least a portion of the base portion of the conductive strap structure. The dielectric cap can be formed either over an entirety of the base portion having a stepped structure or on a distal portion of the base portion.

  • Patent number: 9576964
    Abstract: At least one dielectric pad layer is formed on a semiconductor-on-insulator (SOI) substrate. A deep trench is formed in the SOI substrate, and a combination of an outer electrode, a node dielectric, and an inner electrode are formed such that the top surface of the inner electrode is recessed below the top surface of a buried insulator layer of the SOI substrate. Selective epitaxy is performed to fill a cavity overlying the inner electrode with an epitaxial semiconductor material portion. A top semiconductor material layer and the epitaxial semiconductor material portion are patterned to form a fin structure including a portion of the top semiconductor material layer and a portion of the epitaxial semiconductor material portion. The epitaxial semiconductor material portion functions as a conductive strap structure between the inner electrode and a semiconductor device to be formed on the fin structure.

  • Patent number: 9385131
    Abstract: A conductive strap structure in lateral contact with a top semiconductor layer is formed on an inner electrode of a deep trench capacitor. A cavity overlying the conductive strap structure is filled a dielectric material to form a dielectric capacitor cap having a top surface that is coplanar with a topmost surface of an upper pad layer. A semiconductor mandrel in lateral contact with the dielectric capacitor cap is formed. The combination of the dielectric capacitor cap and the semiconductor mandrel is employed as a protruding structure around which a fin-defining spacer is formed. The semiconductor mandrel is removed, and the fin-defining spacer is employed as an etch mask in an etch process that etches a lower pad layer and the top semiconductor layer to form a semiconductor fin that laterally wraps around the conductive strap structure. An access finFET is formed employing two parallel portions of the semiconductor fin.
