Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

In order to achieve high-speed operation of an eDRAM, the eDRAM includes: a selection MISFET having a gate electrode that serves as a word line, a source region, and a drain region; a source plug electrode coupled to the source region; and a drain plug electrode coupled to the drain region DR 1 . The eDRAM further includes: a capacitive plug electrode coupled to the drain plug electrode; a bit line coupled to the source plug electrode; a stopper film covering the bit line; and a capacitive element that is formed over the stopper film and has a first electrode, a dielectric film, and a second electrode. The first electrode is coupled to the capacitive plug electrode, and the height of the capacitive plug electrode and that of the bit line are equal to each other.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A semiconductor integrated circuit device comprising: a semiconductor substrate; a word line extending in a first direction in a main surface of the semiconductor substrate; a bit line extending in a second direction that intersects with the first direction in the main surface of the semiconductor substrate; a gate electrode that is formed in the main surface of the semiconductor substrate and serves as the word line; a MISFET having a source region…
