A vertical transistor semiconductor and method of making a vertical transistor is provided. The vertical transistor is particularly suited for use in a DRAM cell. The structure permits a DRAM cell to be fabricated with a comparatively low number of masking layers. Moreover, the vertical nature of the transistor allows a larger number of transistors per surface area compared to conventional techniques. The method and apparatus also utilizes a buried digit line. The digit line may include a portion that is a metal material that in a preferred embodiment is step-shaped sidewall of the digit line. The transistor is particular suited for use with a variety of DRAM capacitors.
