DRAM cell with high integration density

A process for making a DRAM-type cell includes growing layers of silicon germanium and layers of silicon, by epitaxy from a silicon substrate; superposing a first layer of N+ doped silicon and a second layer of P doped silicon; and forming a transistor on the silicon substrate. The method also includes etching a trench in the extension of the transistor to provide an access to the silicon germanium layers relative to the silicon layers over a pre-set depth to form lateral cavities, and forming a capacitor in the trench and in the lateral cavities.
