Method of limiting the lateral extent of a trench capacitor by a
dielectric spacer in a hybrid orientations substrate is provided. The
dielectric spacer separates a top semiconductor portion from an
epitaxially regrown portion, which have different crystallographic
orientations. The deep trench is formed as a substantially straight
trench within the epitaxially regrown portion such that part of the
epitaxially regrown portion remains overlying the dielectric spacer. The
substantially straight trench is then laterally expanded to form a bottle
shaped trench and to provide increased capacitance. The lateral expansion
of the deep trench is self-limited by the dielectric spacer above the
interface between the handle substrate and the buried insulator layer.
During subsequent formation of a doped buried plate, the dielectric
spacer blocks diffusion of dopants into the top semiconductor portion,
providing a compact bottle shaped trench capacitor having high
capacitance without introducing dopants into the top semiconductor
portion.
