Abstract

Embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate to a storage device. More specifically, embodiments described herein generally relate to a dynamic random-access memory and the method of making thereof. In one embodiment, a cell array includes at least an active region and a field region adjacent to the active region. The active region includes at least one trench, a dielectric layer disposed in the trench, a first conformal layer disposed on the dielectric layer, and a conductive material disposed on the first conformal layer. The field region includes a trench, a dielectric layer disposed in the trench, a second conformal layer disposed on the dielectric layer, and a conductive material disposed on the second conformal layer. The second conformal layer has a different composition than the first conformal layer.
