Abstract
A memory cell contains at least one transistor and one capacitor connected to an upper bit line. The capacitor contains a first capacitor electrode arranged above the transistor, and is connected to the transistor. The upper bit line can be created in self-adjusted fashion on the basis of trenches which are of different widths, which extend transversely to one another, and which are arranged between the first capacitor electrodes. At least a part of each first capacitor electrode can be created from a layer which is structured by the trenches. Trenches can be narrowed by spacers.
Claims4
A DRAM cell arrangement, comprising:
- a capacitor having a first capacitor electrode;
- edges of the first capacitor electrode having a capacitor dielectric;
- an upper bit line connected to the capacitor acting as a second capacitor electrode and which annularly surrounds the first capacitor electrode having the capacitor dielectric;
- a transistor beneath the capacitor and connected to the first capacitor electrode;
- and
- first trenches arranged between neighboring first capacitor electrodes along the upper bit line and which are narrower than second trenches arranged between neighboring first capacitor electrodes situated transversely to the upper bit line.
