Local-damascene-finFET DRAM integration with p/sup +/ doped poly-silicon gate technology for sub-60nm device generations

We integrate FinFET DRAM in sub-60nm feature size. To avoid severe passing gate effects in FinFET cell array, we introduce a local damascene gate structure. Threshold voltage control of the ultra thin body transistors is successfully achieved by adopting p+ boron in-situ doped poly-silicon gate on the FinFET cells. As a result, very stable and uniform operation of FinFET cells is realized. The local damascene FinFET with p+ gate can become a highly feasible mainstream DRAM technology for sub-60nm low-power high-speed devices
