| 20090184356 | DEEP TRENCH CAPACITOR IN A SOI SUBSTRATE HAVING A LATERALLY PROTRUDING BURIED STRAP - A deep trench is formed to a depth midway into a buried insulator layer of a semiconductor-on-insulator (SOI) substrate. A top semiconductor layer is laterally recessed by an isotropic etch that is selective to the buried insulator layer. The deep trench is then etched below a bottom surface of the buried insulator layer. Ion implantation is performed at an angle into the deep trench to dope the sidewalls of the deep trench beneath the buried insulator layer, while the laterally recessed sidewalls of the top semiconductor layer are not implanted with dopant ions. A node dielectric and trench fill materials are deposited into the deep trench. A buried strap has an upper buried strap sidewall that is offset from a lower buried strap sidewall and a deep trench sidewall. | 07-23-2009 |

| 20110204524 | STRUCTURES AND METHODS OF FORMING PRE FABRICATED DEEP TRENCH CAPACITORS FOR SOI SUBSTRATES - Structures and methods are provided for forming pre-fabricated deep trench capacitors for SOI substrates. The method includes forming a trench in a substrate and forming a dielectric material in the trench. The method further includes depositing a conductive material over the dielectric material in the trench and forming an insulator layer over the conductive material and the substrate. | 08-25-2011 |
