Memory cell design for dynamic semiconductor memories

Abstract

Abstract A memory cell on a doped silicon substrate with high integration density has at least one field-effect transistor consisting of source (S) and drain (D) regions and a gate electrode (G), and a capacitor overlapping the gate electrode (G) of the field-effect transistor and formed as a "stacked capacitor". The capacitance of the capacitors of the memory cell is increased by a difference in the thickness of the two polysilicon layers (P2, P3), and the introduction of a contact support level in the polysilicon layer P2 ensures a simple contact transition between the supply line (Z) and the source region (S) of the field effect transistor. <IMAGE>
