Bottle-shaped trench capacitor with epi buried layer

摘要

A bottle-shaped trench capacitor having an expanded lower trench portion with an epi layer therein. The epi layer serves as the buried plate of the trench capacitor. A diffusion region surrounds the expanded lower trench portion to enhance the dopant concentration of the epi layer. The diffusion region is formed by, for example, gas phase doping, plasma doping, or plasma immersion ion implantation.
