    Abstract: Integrated circuit devices and methods of forming the same are provided. The methods may include forming a dummy channel region and an active region of a substrate, forming a bottom source/drain region on the active region, forming a gate electrode on one of opposing side surfaces of the dummy channel region, and forming first and second spacers on the opposing side surfaces of the dummy channel region, respectively. The gate electrode may include a first portion on the one of the opposing side surfaces of the dummy channel region and a second portion between the bottom source/drain region and the first spacer. The methods may also include forming a bottom source/drain contact by replacing the first portion of the gate electrode with a conductive material. The bottom source/drain contact may electrically connect the second portion of the gate electrode to the bottom source/drain region.

    Abstract: Integrated circuit devices may include active regions spaced apart from each other in a direction. The active regions may include a first pair of active regions, a second pair of active regions, and a third pair of active regions. The first pair of active regions may be spaced apart from each other by a first distance in the direction, the second pair of active regions may be spaced apart from each other by the first distance in the direction, and the third pair of active regions may be spaced apart from each other by the first distance in the direction. The second pair of active regions may be spaced apart from the first pair of active regions and the third pair of active regions by a second distance in the direction, and the first distance may be shorter than the second distance.

    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a fin structure for a vertical field effect transistor (VFET) includes: forming on a substrate mandrels having at least one first gap therebetween; forming first spacers on side surfaces of the mandrels such that at least one second gap, smaller than the first gap, is formed between the first spacers; forming a second spacer on side surfaces of the first spacers; removing the mandrels and the first spacers to leave the second spacer on the side surfaces of the first spacers; removing the second spacer, on the side surfaces of the first spacers, at a predetermined portion so that the remaining second spacer has a same two-dimensional (2D) shape as the fin structure; and removing a portion of the substrate, except below the remaining second spacer, and the remaining second spacer so that the substrate below the remaining second spacer forms the fin structure.
