A contact plug structure for a checkerboard dynamic random access memory
comprises a body portion, two leg portions connected to the body portion
and a dielectric block positioned between the two leg portions. Each leg
portion is electrically connected to a deep trench capacitor arranged in
an S-shape manner with respect to the contact plug structure via a doped
region isolated by a shallow trench isolation structure. Preferably, the
body portion and the two leg portions can be made of the same conductive
material selected from the group consisting of polysilicon, doped
polysilicon, tungsten, copper and aluminum, while the dielectric block
can be made of material selected from the group consisting of
borophosphosilicate glass. Particularly, the contact plug can be prepared
by dual-damascene technique. Since the overlapped area between the
contact plug structure and a word line can be dramatically decreased, the
bit line coupling (BLC) can be effectively reduced.
