Abstract:
A method for fabricating a semiconductor memory device, comprising the steps of:preparing a silicon substrate including a cell region and a peripheral region; in one surface of silicon substrate, forming first isolation layers in the cell region and second isolation layers in the peripheral region; forming a first insulating layer having first and second contact holes over the one surface of the silicon substrate including the first and second isolation layers; forming a first doped polysilicon layer over the first insulating layer to be buried with the first and second contact holes; patterning the first doped polysilicon layer to form a storage node of a capacitor in the cell region, the doped polysilicon layer remaining in the peripheral region as it is; forming a second insulating layer and a second doped polysilicon layer in turn over the first insulating layer including the storage node in the cell region and over the first doped polysilicon layer in the peripheral region; patterning the second insulating layer and the second doped polysilicon layer to form a dielectric film and a plate node of the capacitor, the second insulating layer and the second doped polysilicon layer remaining in the peripheral region as it is; forming a third insulating layer over the first insulating layer including the capacitor in the cell region and over the second doped polysilicon layer in the peripheral region; boding a base substrate on the third insulating layer; polishing another surface of the silicon substrate to form semiconductor layers in the cell region and the peripheral region, respectively, until the first and second isolation layers are exposed; forming a pair of trench layers in the semiconductor layer in the cell region to be spaced from the first insulating layer; forming a cell transistor in the semiconductor layer of the cell region between the trench layers and a driving transistor in semiconductor layer of the peripheral region, the cell transistor including a first gate having a first gate oxide formed over the semiconductor layer in the cell region, first source and drain regions formed in the semiconductor layer of the cell region at the both sides of the first gate and a channel region defined in the semiconductor layer between the first source and drain regions in the cell region, the first source region of the cell transistor being contacted with the storage node of the capacitor, the driving transistor including a second gate having a second gate oxide formed over the semiconductor layer in the peripheral region, second source and drain regions formed in the semiconductor layer of the peripheral region at the both sides of the second gate and a channel region defined in the semiconductor layer between the second source and drain regions in the peripheral region, the channel region of the driving transistor being contacted with the first doped polysilicon layer of the dummy pattern; forming impurity regions for well pick-up in the another surface of the semiconductor layer adjacent to the cell transistor; and forming a conduction layer in the semiconductor layer and the first insulating layer in the peripheral region adjacent to the driving transistor to be connected with the first doped polysilicon layer.
