Semiconductor memory device having a transistor, a bit line, a word line and a stacked capacitor

摘要

A semiconductor memory configuration and a manufacturing process for the semiconductor memory configuration use a polishing process in the manufacture of a semiconductor memory configuration with stacked-capacitor-above-bit-line memory cells. At least TC pillars are created with the aid of a CMP step and a completely planarized surface existing prior to the manufacture of the bit line. Further CMP steps are advantageously used, inter alia, in the manufacture of a TB pillar of a bit line which is countersunk in a trench and of a lower capacitor plate, as well as to completely planarize a cell array and a periphery prior to interconnection of the circuit.
