ABSTRACT:
A method used in fabrication of a recessed access device transistor gate has increased tolerance for mask misalignment. One embodiment of the invention comprises forming a vertical spacing layer over a semiconductor wafer, then etching the vertical spacing layer and the semiconductor wafer to form a recess in the wafer. A conductive transistor gate layer is then formed within the trench and over the vertical spacing layer. The transistor gate layer is etched, which exposes the vertical spacing layer. A spacer layer is formed over the etched conductive gate layer and over the vertical spacing layer, then the spacer layer and the vertical spacing layer are anisotropically etched. Subsequent to anisotropically etching the vertical spacing layer, a portion of the vertical spacing layer is interposed between the semiconductor wafer and the etched conductive transistor gate layer in a direction perpendicular to the plane of a major surface of the semiconductor wafer.
