Abstract
A method for forming memory cells, featuring a bit line, embedded in an insulator filled, shallow trench, has been developed. Self-alignment of the buried bit line, to a source and drain region of a transfer gate transistor, is obtained via outdiffusion of a doped polysilicon layer, used as part of the buried bit line, composite layer.
