Abstract
A method of manufacturing a buried word line structure includes: providing a semiconductor substrate; injecting target ions into the semiconductor substrate to form an injected region in the semiconductor substrate; annealing the semiconductor substrate including the injected region to convert the injected region into an insulation region; forming a word line trench in the insulation region; and filling the word line trench with a word line metal to form a buried word line structure.
Claims19
A method of manufacturing a buried word line structure, comprising:
- providing a semiconductor substrate;
- injecting target ions into the semiconductor substrate to form an injected region in the semiconductor substrate;
- annealing the semiconductor substrate comprising the injected region to convert the injected region into an insulation region;
- forming a word line trench in the insulation region by partially etching the insulation region, a width of the word line trench being less than a width of the insulation region, a height of the word line trench being less than a height of the injected region, and a residual part of the etched insulation region being used as a gate oxide layer of the buried word line structure;
- and
- filling the word line trench with a word line metal to form the buried word line structure.
