Dynamic random access memory (DRAM) cells and methods for fabricating the same

摘要

A method for fabricating a memory cell is provided. A trench is formed in a semiconductor structure that comprises a semiconductor layer, and a trench capacitor is formed in the trench. Conductivity determining impurities are implanted into the semiconductor structure to create a well region in the semiconductor layer that is directly coupled to the trench capacitor. A gate structure is formed overlying a portion of the well region. Conductivity determining ions are then implanted into other portions of the well region to form a source region and a drain region, and to define an active body region between the source region and the drain region. The active body region directly contacts the trench capacitor.
