Abstract

A process for producing a random access memory cell having an improved capacitor structure that thereby permits greater integration. The capacitor is a merged combination of a stacked trench and a stacked capacitor which has at least two plates separated by a dielectric layer. The plates are formed of polysilicon and extend partially over the gate region, over the source region, over the sidewalls and bottom of a trench, and partially over the field oxide.
