Abstract

The invention includes a method of forming a DRAM cell. A first substrate is formed to include first DRAM sub-structures separated from one another by an insulative material. A second semiconductor substrate including a monocrystalline material is bonded to the first substrate. After the bonding, second DRAM sub-structures are formed in electrical connection with the first DRAM sub-structures. The invention also includes a semiconductor structure which includes a capacitor structure, and a first substrate defined to encompass the capacitor structure. The semiconductor structure further includes a monocrystalline silicon substrate bonded to the first substrate and over the capacitor structure. Additionally, the semiconductor structure comprises a transistor gate on the monocrystalline silicon substrate and operatively connected with the capacitor structure to define a DRAM cell.
