Description of the invention (2) Large-area components. To reduce the area of the planar capacitor by reducing the thickness of the capacitor dielectric layer will be limited by the minimum thickness of the capacitor dielectric layer. This is because capacitor dielectric layers having a thickness of less than 30 angstroms are susceptible to the problem of leakage current. Therefore, another traditional method to solve the above problems is to use trench capacitors instead of purely reducing the dielectric layer of the capacitor. However, the conventional method of forming a trench capacitor has a problem of complicated steps. In addition, traditional stack capacitors require many additional thermal budgets. And it is not completely compatible with the logic process. In view of the above, the present invention will propose a capacitor buried in the oxide layer of the shallow trench isolation region (ST I), which can form a capacitance of about 3.5 to 5.0 fF per unit of memory cell. Such a capacitor can be applied. In it SRAM 'single transistor static random access memory. The 1T SRM capacitor does not need to be very large, because its renewal time (r e f r e s h t i m e) is very short, about the refresh time of lms to O.lms. In addition, as an interchangeable function of the word line and interconductor wire, the polycrystalline spar layer can use the way of the top electrode of the capacitor to make full use of each unit of silicon area to achieve The goal of reducing the capacitance of the capacitor is to reduce the area of each silicon substrate. Object and Summary of the Invention: One object of the present invention is to provide a concept that a capacitor is buried in a shallow trench isolation area (s τ I). 5. The concept of the invention (3) ^. Another object of the present invention is to provide a stabbed field _ You Xianxian ~ formed by means of a capacitor across the = interconnection, crystalline silicon layer (isolated by nitrogen silicon oxide layer). It is used to reduce the traditional problem, and open the inter-connected short circuit caused by the compound crystal dream, and the semiconductor substrate with more waves f. The present invention utilizes a silicon nitride spacer wall of six π, addressing% ~ ~ Η 双 double U to reduce the problem of passergate and 乂 interconnected polycrystalline stone stringer. The invention provides an embedded memory method, particularly a method for forming a process method for a single transistor static capacitor. Contains the following bulk / precursor: Capacitors for accessing memory. A shallow trench isolation area has been formed on a thousand-conductor substrate. ^ The bulk substrate forms an n-well. Lai, formed: among them. In turn, Yu Fengdao-a photoresist pattern on the capacitor node oxide layer:: emulsion layer. Then, the left and right sides of the shallow trench isolation area are formed, and the opening position of the photoresist pattern is defined as the position of the crown-shaped capacitor. After that, a photoresist is used to form recessed areas for the left and right of the tomb isolation area. Second, the semiconductor substrate is engraved with money to make the shallow trench adjacent. Then, the & plane, ::, and the shallow trench isolation region are implanted with a P-type conductive impurity ion and the first polycrystalline silicon layer is deposited. In the process, the capacitor node oxide layer is polished, and the back stop is chemically / polished, and the first polycrystalline stone layer on the sidewall is removed to produce two or two removals higher than the concave region. The bottom of the solid-phase isolation capacitor in Tian 1 was then wet-etched to remove the exposed electricity to remove the oxide layer on the node.

Problem. Not too incompatible, such as the surface of a traditional stacked substrate. Next, a capacitor dielectric layer No is formed. After the formation, a second polycrystalline silicon layer is deposited on the capacitor dielectric layer. An anti-reflection coating is deposited on the second polycrystalline silicon layer.

After the M pole is defined, ldd ion implantation is applied, and then the gap wall is on the side of the transistor gate and the side wall of the polycrystalline silicon connecting wire layer. The source / inverted area a is then applied. Implant p-type conductive impurities. Finally, a self-aligned process layer is formed on the transistor gate and the polycrystalline silicon connection conductor. Capacitors made with traditional methods have a lot of area, such as planar capacitors, which are related to logic processes such as trench capacitors, or capacitors that require a lot of thermal budget. The method of the present invention can solve the above-mentioned problem 483157 V. Description of the invention (5). Please refer to FIG. 2A. First, a photoresist pattern (not shown) is used to define a n-type well 1 10 region on a semiconductor substrate of a shallow trench isolation region 105 formed by conventional techniques as a capacitor and logic. In the area where the transistor is located, the photoresist pattern (not shown) is used as a mask, and ions of n-type conductive impurities are implanted to form the n-type well 110 area shown in the figure. Then, a capacitor node oxide layer 120 is formed by a thermal oxidation process or a chemical vapor deposition method. The thickness of the oxide layer 12 of the capacitor node is about 5 0-8 0 0 angstroms, and the depth of the shallow trench isolation region 105 is about 3 0 0 0-5 0 0 angstroms. Of course, if the thermal oxidation process is used, the increase in the height of the oxide layer in the shallow trench isolation will be much smaller than the oxide layer on the upper surface of the n-type well 110. If the chemical vapor deposition method is used, the thickness of the capacitor node oxide layer 120 deposited on the upper surface of the shallow trench isolation zone 105 and the n-type well 110 is about the same. Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 2B, a photoresist pattern 125 is formed on the capacitor node oxide layer 120 to define a crown-shaped capacitor range. As shown in the figure, the photoresist pattern block 1 25 is formed in the center of the shallow trench isolation area 105 (about one third of the width of the shallow trench isolation area 105 is weak), and the capacitor node oxide layer 120 m In this way, the oxide layer 105 of the shallow trench isolation area 105 (the left and right sides each is about one-third of the width of the shallow trench isolation area 105) is exposed, and some adjacent η-types are exposed at the same time. The capacitor node oxide layer 120 on the top surface of the well 110 is also exposed. 483157 V. Description of the invention (6) Still refer to FIG. 2B. Next, the photoresist pattern 125 is used as a mask, and etching is performed to remove the I oxidation of the shallow trench isolation area not covered by the photoresist pattern 125. Layer and the capacitor node oxide layer 20 until the semiconductor substrate under the capacitor node oxide layer 120 is exposed. Since the oxide layer in the shallow trench isolation region and the valley electrode node layer 120 are both of the same oxide layer material, a recessed region 127 will be formed after etching, as shown in the figure. The recessed area 127 includes adjacent semiconductor substrates on both sides of the shallow trench isolation area 12 7. The exposed semiconductor substrate is used to connect the bottom electrode of the capacitor to the source / drain region of the logic region. In a preferred embodiment, the depth of the recessed region ^ can be about half of the total depth of the shallow trench isolation region 105. For example, if the depth of the shallow trench isolation region 105 is 350 nm, the depth of the recessed region is about 180 nm. As shown in the figure, the center of the shallow trench isolation zone is like a plateau. #Next, after the photoresist pattern 125 is removed, please refer to FIG. 2c | 検 The cross section is not intended, and then a low-pressure chemical vapor deposition method (LpcvD method) is used to deposit a polycrystalline silicon layer 13 0 after etching. The shallow trench isolation area ι5 is on the semiconductor substrate 110 and the capacitor node oxide layer 120. The thickness of the polycrystalline silicon layer 130 is about 200 to 4/0 angstroms.
