などの問題が住じることにある。(Prior Art) A DRAM memory cell generally consists of one transistor and one capacitor, and stores information by accumulating charge in the capacitor. Conventionally, planar memory cells with a two-dimensional planar structure have been used as this type of memory cell, but in megbit-class DRAMs, stacked memory cells in which cells are stacked upward, or semiconductors are used. Memory cells are beginning to be used that increase the effective canopy area through three-dimensional structuring, such as trench-type memory cells in which a trench is dug in a substrate and a canopy is formed within the trench. The reason is that if the capacitance of the capacitor is small (i.e. less charge is stored in the capacitor), the circuit malfunctions (because the stored signal is small)
This can lead to problems such as increased susceptibility to nufting errors due to alpha rays.

タが構成される。FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of a conventional conventional stacked memory cell. In this figure, a 1-Fipu silicon substrate is shown, and a field oxide film 2 is formed in the non-active region on this P-type silicon substrate 1, while a gate oxide film 3 is formed in the active region. A gate electrode 4 and a pair of N-type diffusion layers 5a and 5b are formed to constitute a transistor. Then, a part of one N-type diffusion layer 5b constituting the transistor passes through the insulating film 6 on the entire surface of the substrate 1 and the opening 7 (hereinafter referred to as self-contact) in the gate oxide film 3. It is connected to the upper capacitor lower electrode 8 made of N-type polysilicon, and on this capacitor lower electrode 8, a capacitor dielectric film 9, and further a capacitor upper electrode 10 made of N-type polysilicon are disposed. Then, the memory is configured.

First, in the memory capacitors stacked upward, in order to increase the charge storage capacity, unevenness is provided to increase the effective surface area.
Alternatively, a structure such as making the capacitor dielectric film 9 thinner can be considered, but if the dielectric film 9 is made thinner, the withstand voltage will drop and the leakage of charge will occur. Subsequent fine pattern formation becomes difficult.

消費電流の増加をもたらしてしまう。As described above, in a memory capacitor, it is difficult to obtain a charge storage capacity of a certain value or more by modifying physical or process constraints. Next, regarding the junction capacity (2) between the P-type silicon substrate 1 and the N-type diffusion layer 5b, basically, if the concentration of the P-type silicon substrate 1, which corresponds to the low concentration side, is increased, the expansion of the depletion layer can be suppressed. Junction capacitance increases, but P-type silicon substrate 1
Since the junction capacitance other than the N-type diffusion layer 5b connected to the lower electrode of the capacitor also increases at the same time, this results in a reduction in the speed of the transistor and the circuit, or an increase in current consumption due to an increase in charging and discharging charges.

合容量が増大し、電荷蓄積容量が増大する。(Embodiment) An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a sectional view of one embodiment of the present invention. In this figure, reference numeral 21 denotes a P-type silicon substrate, on which a field oxide film 22 is formed in the non-active region, while a gate oxide film 23 is formed in the active region. A gate electrode 24 and a pair of N-type diffusion layers 25a and 25b are formed to constitute a transistor. Then, a part of one N-type diffusion layer 25b constituting the transistor forms a self-contact 27'&A, which is an opening formed in the insulating film 26 and gate oxide film 23 on the entire surface of the substrate 21, and forms the insulating film 27'&A. Canopy lower part t&28 made of N-type polysilicon on film 26
A capacitor dielectric film 29 and a capacitor upper electrode 30 made of N-type polysilicon are arranged on the capacitor lower electrode 28 to form a memory canister. Further, in the P-type silicon substrate 21, one of the pair of diffusion layers 25a and 25b of the transistor 7 is connected to the capacitor lower electrode 28.
Limited to the area below the type diffusion layer 25b, and in this example,
The diffusion layer 25b under one of the N-type diffusion layers 25b
The impurity concentration (1×1
014~5x1016cIn-3) with a higher impurity concentration (Ix1017~lx1018cm-3),
An impurity region 31 having the same polarity (P type) as the substrate 21 is formed. Therefore, according to this memory cell, the junction capacitance increases only in the portion of the diffusion layer 25b connected to the capacitor lower electrode 28, and the charge storage capacity increases.

Although the high concentration impurity region 31 is formed under the N type diffusion layer 25b only in the portion connected to the N type diffusion layer 25b, the high concentration impurity region 31 may be formed entirely under the N type diffusion layer 25b.

が可能となる。Therefore, there is an advantage that the charge storage capacity can be increased without causing any process problems that would hinder the subsequent formation of fine notation turns. 1) Since the charge storage capacity can be increased without reducing the thickness of the current visiting body, physical melting such as a decrease in withstand voltage and charge leakage that occur when the current visiting body is made thinner can be increased. This makes it possible to increase the charge storage capacity without any problems.

随することなく電荷蓄積容量を増加できる利点がある。In addition, the increase in junction capacitance occurs only in the diffusion layer connected to the lower electrode of the capacitor.
This has the advantage that the charge storage capacity can be increased without causing problems such as an increase in current consumption due to an increase in load.
