EMBEDDED DRAM IN REPLACEMENT METAL GATE TECHNOLOGY

摘要

Methods for forming an eDRAM with replacement metal gate technology and the resulting device are disclosed. Embodiments include forming first and second dummy electrodes on a substrate, each dummy electrode having spacers at opposite sides and being surrounded by an ILD; removing the first and second dummy electrodes, forming first and second cavities, respectively; forming a hardmask over the substrate, exposing the first cavity; forming a deep trench in the substrate through the first cavity; removing the hardmask; and forming a capacitor in the first cavity and deep trench and concurrently forming an access transistor in the second cavity.
