Abstract
The present invention provides a method to manufacture a trench DRAM. The present method can avoid the latch-up phenomenon of a transistor, and can efficiently increase the ability of storing charge of a capacitor to avoid the soft errors caused by α particles. In this method, an SOI is used to manufacture the trench DRAM. Because a dielectric layer in SOI separates the transistor from the substrate, the latch-up phenomenon can be avoided. By using oxygen-ion implantation, silicon layers can be divided, and elements can adequately be separated from each other.
