Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Semiconductor memory apparatus and a method of fabricating the same are provided. The semiconductor memory apparatus includes a semiconductor substrate in which a cell area and a peripheral area are defined, a plurality of pillars formed in the a cell area of the semiconductor substrate to a first depth, a stepped part formed in the peripheral area to a height corresponding to the first depth, a recessed part formed in the stepped part to a second depth, and a core switching device formed in the recessed part.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method of fabricating semiconductor memory apparatus, comprising: defining a cell area and a peripheral area in a semiconductor substrate; forming a plurality of pillars in the cell area by recessing a predetermined portion of the semiconductor substrate in the cell area to a first depth; forming a recessed part surrounded by the semiconductor substrate in the peripheral area by recessing a predetermined portion of the semiconductor substrate in the pe…
