Structures including a self-aligned strap for embedded trench memory (e.g., trench capacitor) on hybrid orientation technology (HOT) substrate, and related method, are disclosed. One structure includes a hybrid orientation substrate including a semiconductor-on-insulator (SOI) section and a bulk semiconductor section; a transistor over the SOI section; a trench capacitor in the bulk semiconductor section; and a self-aligned strap extending from a source/drain region of the transistor to an electrode of the trench capacitor. The method does not require additional masks to generate the strap, results in a self-aligned strap and improved device performance. In one embodiment, the strap is a silicide strap.
