The oblique active region semiconductor assembly structure of integrated circuit
Technical field
The present invention relates to the improvement structure of a kind of semiconductor dynamic random access holder (DRAM), particularly a kind of dynamic randon access holder with oblique active region (titled active area).
Background technology
Dynamic randon access holder (dynamic random access memory; DRAM) be a kind of main volatility (volatile) holder.Storage element (cell) is made of capacitor and transistor usually, transistorized doped region or title active region (active area) are connected with an end of electric capacity, the other end of electric capacity then is connected with reference potential, therefore, make the manufacture craft that the DRAM memory cell has comprised transistor AND gate electric capacity.General typical dynamic randon access holder is to make mos field effect transistor (MOSFET) and capacitor on semi-conductive substrate, and the charge-storage electrode (storage node) that utilizes contact hole to connect capacitor is done electrically to contact with the source electrode of mos field effect transistor.Contact with the electrical of source area by capacitor, digital information is stored in capacitor and above-mentioned transistor, bit line, the word line array of mat obtained stored numerical data.Contact with the electrical of source area by capacitor, digital data storage obtains the numerical data of capacitor in capacitor and mat mos field effect transistor, bit line (bit line), word line (word line) array.General plate capacitor is the most frequently used capacitance structure, in order to increase the density of assembly, the DRAM technology is tended to size is reduced, because the reduction of size, relative capacity area also descends and causes the minimizing of electric capacity storage capacity, makes refreshing (refresh) frequency and also can increase electric capacity.In order to solve the above problems and then to have developed ditching type electric capacity storage data and stacking-type electric capacity, ditching type electric capacity has the phenomenon of leakage current sometimes.
Fig. 1 is traditional array type contact hole active region structure.Prior art utilizes ion implantation technique (ion implantation) to produce active region or the steelyard slepsydra utmost point and source region (the source and drain) of array type in substrate.Afterwards, utilize etching and deposition technique to form self-aligned contacts (self-aligned contact; SAC) conductivity is bolted among the dielectric layer, can utilize CVD to be deposited on polysilicon refilling and enter among the contact perforation, again etch-back or grinding and form above-mentioned polysilicon bolt.The live width permission (CD Variation) of the live width permission of capacitor top electrode (line width tolerance) and bit line contact, relevant with the mis-alignment scope (mis-align spec) of photoetching making technology.Along with the lasting reduction of live width, it is more and more little that the requirement of spacing also becomes, and so will make the isolation of bit line contact and crown capacitor top electrode, becomes the problem of overslaugh manufacture craft yield (yield).On the other hand, peripheral circuit is darker than the bit line contact hole of central circuit, has also deepened the problem on the manufacture craft.Based on Progress in technique, the structure of Fig. 1 is restricted, and therefore is necessary to propose a new structure.
