Patent ID: 8241981

Claim:
A method, comprising: providing an SOI substrate including a layer of silicon disposed atop a layer of an oxide, the layer of an oxide being disposed atop a semiconductor substrate; forming a deep trench having a sidewall extending through the layer of silicon and the layer of an oxide and into the substrate; depositing a continuous spacer on the sidewall to cover the layer of silicon, the layer of an oxide and a part of the substrate; depositing a first conformal layer of a conductive material throughout the inside of the deep trench; creating a silicide within the deep trench in regions extending through the sidewall into an uncovered part of the substrate; removing the first conformal layer from the continuous spacer; removing the continuous spacer; depositing a layer of a high k dielectric material throughout the inside of the deep trench, and depositing a second conformal layer of a conductive material onto the layer of a high-k dielectric material.
