M. Togo et al., A Salicide-Bridged trench capacitor with a Double-Sacrificial-Si3N4-Sidewall (DSS) for high-performance logic-embedded DRAMs, NEC RES DEV, 40(3), 1999, pp. 277-281
We propose a Double-Sacrificial-Si3N4-Sidewall (DSS) technology to develop
a Salicide-Bridged trench-capacitor cell for high-performance logic-embedde
d DRAMs. Both the DSS technology and the Salicide-Bridging are fully compat
ible with high-performance CMOS processes. With these technologies, a stora
ge node of a Substrate-Plate Trench (SPT) capacitor can be connected to a d
rain node even over a thick oxide collar during the silicidation.
