METHOD, DEVICE AND SYSTEM TO PROVIDE CAPACITANCE FOR A DYNAMIC RANDOM ACCESS MEMORY CELL

摘要

Techniques and mechanisms to provide capacitance with a memory cell of an integrated circuit. In an embodiment, a transistor of the memory cell includes structures variously formed in or on a first side of a semiconductor substrate. After processing to form the transistor structures, thinning is performed to expose a second side of the semiconductor substrate, the second side opposite the first side. Processing in or on the exposed second side of the semiconductor substrate is subsequently performed to form in the semiconductor substrate a capacitor that extends to couple to one of the transistor structures. In another embodiment, the capacitor is coupled to accumulate charge based on activation of a channel of the transistor. The capacitor is further coupled to send charge from the memory cell via the second side.
