Abstract

A versatile structure is formed, based on a deep trench, vertical transistor DRAM cell, that forms a conductive extension of the trench electrode in an elongated trench that contacts the lower electrode of the vertical transistor. The structure can be used as a capacitor, as a discrete transistor as a single-transistor amplifier or as a building block for more complex circuits.
