Zusammenfassung:	The present invention is a method and structure for fabricating a trench capacitor within a semiconductor substrate having a buried plate electrode formed of metal silicide. A collar is formed in a trench etched into a substrate; a conformal metal film is deposited thereover, and is annealed to form a silicide that is self-aligned to the collar. Silicide will not be formed on the collar, pads and other areas where the silicon is not directly exposed and hence the metal layer can be removed from these areas by selective etching.
