Structure and method for forming SOI trench memory with single-sided strap

摘要

A method of forming a trench memory cell includes forming a trench capacitor within a substrate material, the trench capacitor including a node dielectric layer formed within a trench and a conductive capacitor electrode material formed within the trench in contact with the node dielectric layer; forming a strap mask so as cover one side of the trench and removing one or more materials from an uncovered opposite side of the trench; and forming a conductive buried strap material within the trench; wherein the strap mask is patterned in a manner such that a single-sided buried strap is defined within the trench, the single-sided buried strap configured in a manner such that the deep trench capacitor is electrically accessible at only one side of the trench.
