Abstract

A dynamic random access memory (DRAM) is provided. The dynamic random access memory includes a deep trench capacitor disposed in a first trench of a substrate, a conductive layer disposed in a second trench of the substrate, a gate structure, and a conductive layer disposed on the surface of the substrate at two sides of the gate structure. The depth of the second trench is smaller than the depth of the first trench, and the second trench partially overlaps with the first trench. The conductive layer disposed in the second trench is electrically connected with the conductive layer of the deep trench capacitor. The gate structure is disposed on the substrate. The conductive layer at one side of the gate structure is electrically connected with the conductive layer disposed in the second trench.

Claims (16)

1. A dynamic random access memory, comprising:

a deep trench capacitor disposed in a first trench of a substrate, wherein the substrate further has a second trench, wherein a depth of the second trench is smaller than a depth of the first trench, and a part of the second trench overlaps with the first trench and the remained part of the second trench does not overlap with the first trench, the deep trench capacitor comprising:

a bottom electrode disposed in the substrate at a bottom of the first trench;

a capacitor dielectric layer disposed on a lower sidewall of the first trench;

a first collar oxide layer disposed on an upper sidewall of the first trench and above the capacitor dielectric layer; and

a first conductive layer disposed in the first trench;

a second conductive layer disposed in the second trench and directly and electrically connected with the first conductive layer;

a gate structure disposed on the substrate; and

a third conductive layer disposed on the surface of the substrate on both sides of the gate structure, wherein the third conductive layer at one side of the gate structure is directly and electrically connected with the second conductive layer.

2. The dynamic random access memory as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the third conductive layer comprises a selective epitaxial silicon growth layer.

3. The dynamic random access memory as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a material of the first conductive layer comprises doped polysilicon.

4. The dynamic random access memory as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a material of the second conductive layer comprises doped polysilicon.

5. The dynamic random access memory as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a material of the capacitor dielectric layer comprises silicon oxide or silicon nitride.

6. The dynamic random access memory as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a second collar oxide layer disposed in the second trench and between the sidewall of the second trench and the second conductive layer.

7. The dynamic random access memory as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a first dielectric layer disposed on the first conductive layer and at a side of the second trench.

8. The dynamic random access memory as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a second dielectric layer disposed on the second conductive layer.
