Abstract

The DRAM cell of the invention comprises a structure wherein a deep trench is formed on a silicon wafer, a stacked trench capacitor is formed around a silicon pillar associated with the trench, and a vertical transfer transistor is formed on top of the silicon pillar after the formation of the stacked trench capacitor. The transfer transistor is connected to the storage capacitor through a selectively doped n.sup.+ diffused layer, and isolation between DRAM cells is formed by the trench.
