MEMORY HAVING A VERTICAL ACCESS DEVICE

摘要

Semiconductor memory devices having vertical access devices are disclosed. In some embodiments, a method of forming the device includes providing a recess in a semiconductor substrate that includes a pair of opposed side walls and a floor extending between the opposed side walls. A dielectric layer may be deposited on the side walls and the floor of the recess. A conductive film may be formed on the dielectric layer and processed to selectively remove the film from the floor of the recess and to remove at least a portion of the conductive film from the opposed sidewalls.
