Abstract

A trench capacitor cell, in accordance with the present invention, includes a trench having an outer electrode formed in a substrate adjacent to the trench. A storage node is formed in the trench and capacitively coupled to the outer electrode. A center node is capacitively coupled to the storage node, and the storage node surrounds the center node within the trench. The center node includes a portion extending from the trench for connecting to a potential to provide charge retention in the storage node during operation.
