ABSTRACT:
A method for fabricating a buried strap forms a dielectric collar along sidewalls of a trench. The trench is formed in a substrate. The trench is filled with a conductive material and the conductive material is recessed in the trench to expose a portion of the collar. A masking layer is deposited in the trench over the exposed portion of the collar. A portion of the masking layer is removed over one side of the collar and a portion of the collar is etched on the one side. A buried strap is formed on the conductive material, which connects to the substrate on the one side.
