Abstract

An improved process for making a vertical MOSFET structure comprising: A method of forming a semiconductor memory cell array structure comprising: providing a vertical MOSFET DRAM cell structure having a deposited gate conductor layer planarized to a top surface of a trench top oxide on the overlying silicon substrate; forming a recess in the gate conductor layer below the top surface of the silicon substrate; implanting N-type dopant species through the recess at an angle to form doping pockets in the array P-well; depositing an oxide layer into the recess and etching said oxide layer to form spacers on sidewalls of the recess; depositing a gate conductor material into said recess and planarizing said gate conductor to said top surface of the trench top oxide.
