Abstract

A method for forming a vertical transistor and a trench capacitor. A semiconductor substrate having a pad stacked layer on the surface and a trench formed therein is provided. A capacitor is formed at the bottom part of the trench and a portion of the upper sidewall of the trench is exposed. A conductive wire is then formed on the capacitor, followed by forming a dielectric layer on the exposed sidewalls of the trench. A trench top dielectric is then formed by liquid phase deposition on the conductive wire. A transistor is then formed on the trench top dielectric, which isolates the transistor from the capacitor.
