13. A DRAM structure, comprising:
-
a first memory cell pair; a second memory cell pair positioned laterally adjacent said first memory cell pair; a third memory cell pair; a fourth memory cell pair positioned laterally adjacent said third memory cell pair; a single diffusion break (SDB) isolation structure positioned between said first memory cell pair and said second memory cell pair and between said third memory cell pair and said fourth memory cell pair, wherein said SDB isolation structure comprises a lower portion positioned in a trench formed in a semiconductor substrate and an upper portion positioned above an upper surface of said semiconductor substrate, wherein a bottom surface of said upper portion of said SDB isolation structure is positioned on and in contact with said upper surface of said semiconductor substrate; and a single first gate positioned above said SDB isolation structure and between said first memory cell pair and said second memory cell pair and between said third memory cell pair and said fourth memory cell pair. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
