A method of forming a vertical transistor trench memory cell having an insulating ring is provided. The method includes forming a semiconductor material region in an etched portion of a semiconductor substrate; partially etching the semiconductor material region to form a deep trench, where the deep trench extends beyond the semiconductor material region, and where the remaining of the partially etched semiconductor material region defines an insulating ring. A vertical transistor is then formed in the deep trench, such that the vertical transistor is isolated by the insulating ring. A semiconductor structure is also provided. The semiconductor structure includes a first and a second trench memory cells formed on a semiconductor substrate; and an insulating ring surrounding each of the first and second trench memory cells. The insulating ring is configured for significantly enclosing outdiffusions from the trench memory cells.
