Abstract
A dynamic random access memory structure. The structure includes a substrate having protruding sections and recessed sections, in which the protruding sections have sidewalls and a substrate surface is located between the protruding sections and the recessed sections. A gate oxide layer is formed on the sidewalls of the protruding sections and on the surfaces between the protruding sections and the recessed sections. A doped region is formed near the bottom of each protruding section, and these doped regions serve as buried bit lines. A channel region is formed in the protruding section and a gate electrode is formed on each side of the channel region. A storage electrode is connected to the other end of the protruding section and a word line is connected to the gate electrode. The word line and the buried bit line are perpendicular to each other.
