Abstract
A high density DRAM having a plurality of cells each including a storage capacitor and a single control FET formed together in a trench to substantially reduce planar area of the cell. The FET drain is formed in the upper portion of a pedestal and is accessible externally through a metal line, which reduces line resistance and capacitance. Field oxide is included to isolate capacitors and reduce leakage and breakdown.
