STRUCTURE AND METHOD TO INTEGRATE EMBEDDED DRAM WITH FINFET

摘要

Various embodiment integrate embedded dynamic random access memory with fin field effect transistors. In one embodiment, a first fin structure and at least a second fin structure are formed on a substrate. A deep trench area is formed between the first and second fin structures. A high-k metal gate is formed within the deep trench area. The high-k metal gate includes a high-k dielectric layer and a metal layer. A polysilicon material is deposited within the deep trench area adjacent to the metal layer. The high-k metal gate and the polysilicon material are recessed and etched to an area below a top surface of a substrate insulator layer. A poly strap is formed in the deep trench area. The poly strap is dimensioned to be below a top surface of the first and second fin structures. The first and second fin structures are electrically coupled to the poly strap.
