Patent 7586152 was granted and assigned to Nanya Technology Corporation on September, 2009 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
The present invention discloses a structure of a buried word line, which comprises a semiconductor substrate having a U-shape trench, a U-shape gate dielectric layer in the U-shape trench, a polysilicon layer on the U-shape gate dielectric layer, a conducting layer on the polysilicon layer, and a cover dielectric layer on the conducting layer. The semiconductor structure may have a minimized size and when recess channels are formed thereby, the integration is accordingly improved without suffering from the short channel effect.
