Abstract (en)

[origin: DE19911148C1] A DRAM cell array, with single vertical transistor memory cells having buried bit lines and low space requirement, is new. A DRAM cell array, in which each memory cell consists of a vertical transistor and a capacitor, comprises: (a) a substrate (1) with parallel trenches, each containing a bit line in its lower portion; (b) a stripe-like recess which extends parallel to the trench on a first side wall of the trench lower portion and which is provided with insulation between the bit line and the substrate; (c) a further insulation on the upper trench side walls and the upper face of the bit line; (d) word lines (W) extending transversely to the bit lines and separated from the substrate by an insulating layer (I1); (e) alternating word line cuffs and insulating structures arranged over the bit lines in the trenches; (f) upper (S/Do) and lower transistor source/drain regions arranged between the trenches and under the word lines (W); (g) further insulating structures (I6) in the substrate for separating the upper source/drain regions (S/Do) of adjacent transistors; and (h) memory cell capacitors connected to the upper source/drain regions (S/Do). An Independent claim is also included for production of the above DRAM cell array.
