Abstract

A method for making a semiconductor memory cell having a storage capacitor disposed between metallization layers. Field and active regions and transistor circuit elements are formed on a substrate, on which is formed an insulating layer. A bit line is formed through a contact formed in the insulating layer. Another insulating layer is formed and a contact is formed to a word line and transistor and a primary metallization layer is formed of a refractory metal or metal compound. An oxide and an insulating layer are formed, and a buried contact to a source/drain region of a memory access transistor is formed to have an oxide side wall, and the storage electrode, dielectric and plate electrode are formed thereon. A secondary metallization layer may also be formed.
