SEMICONDUCTOR MEMORY DEVICE AND METHOD OF FABRICATING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17861479 titled 'SEMICONDUCTOR MEMORY DEVICE AND METHOD OF FABRICATING THE SAME
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a semiconductor memory device and a method of fabricating it. The device includes a first impurity region in a substrate, a first bit line connected to the first impurity region, a bit-line contact between the first bit line and the first impurity region, and a contact ohmic layer between the bit-line contact and the first impurity region. The width of the bottom surface of the bit-line contact is greater than the width of the bottom surface of the contact ohmic layer.
