Memory cell with a vertical transistor and fabrication method thereof

摘要

A memory cell with a vertical transistor has a semiconductor silicon substrate with a deep trench, in which the deep trench has a first sidewall region and a second sidewall region. A first insulating layer is formed overlying the first sidewall region. A second insulating layer is formed overlying the second sidewall region, in which the thickness of the first insulating layer is larger than the thickness of the second insulating layer. A gate electrode layer is sandwiched between the first insulating layer and the second insulating layer. A buried strap out-diffusion region is formed in the substrate adjacent to the second sidewall region, in which the buried strap out-diffusion region is located near the lower portion of the second insulating layer.
