ABSTRACT:
Methods and devices that provide improved isolation and alignment of gate conductors or gate contacts of vertical transistors in deep trench memory cells. A method for forming a vertical gate contact of a vertical transistor includes an oxide spacer formation process that prevents defects, such as shorts caused by voids filled with polysilicon, resulting from etching processes that are performed during fabrication of a vertical transistor, and enables formation of well-defined contact plugs for gate contacts, providing improved alignment structures.
