Abstract

By controlling buried plate doping level and bias condition, different capacitances can be obtained from capacitors on the same chip with the same layout and deep trench process. The capacitors may be storage capacitors of DRAM/eDRAM cells. The doping concentration may be less than 3E19cm−3, a voltage difference between the biases of the buried electrodes may be at least 0.5V, and a capacitance of one capacitor may be at least 1.2 times, such as 2.0 times the capacitance of another capacitor.
