    摘要: A semiconductor device constituting a decoder circuit for memory selection and having a smaller area is provided by using surrounding gate transistors (SGTs), which are vertical transistors. In a decoder circuit formed by a plurality of MOS transistors arranged in m rows and n columns, the MOS transistors that constitute the decoder circuit are arranged on a planar silicon layer formed on a substrate. Each has a structure including a drain, a gate, and a source arranged in a vertical direction, the gate surrounding a semiconductor pillar. The planar silicon layer is formed by a first active region of a first conductivity type and a second active region of a second conductivity type, and the regions are connected to each other via a conductive region formed on the surface of the planar silicon layer. Consequently, a semiconductor device that constitutes a decoder circuit having a smaller area is provided.

    摘要: A method for producing a pillar-shaped semiconductor device includes forming, above a NiSi layer serving as a lower wiring conductor layer and connecting to an N+ layer of an SGT formed within a Si pillar, a first conductor W layer that extends through a NiSi layer serving as an upper wiring conductor layer and connecting to a gate TiN layer and that extends through a NiSi layer serving as an intermediate wiring conductor layer and connecting to an N+ layer; forming an insulating SiO2 layer between the NiSi layer and the W layer; and forming a second conductor W layer so as to surround the W layer and have its bottom at the upper surface layer of the NiSi layer, to achieve connection between the NiSi layer and the NiSi layer.
