摘要:
In a semiconductor device, a vertical transistor comprises: a first diffusion region on a substrate; a channel region on the first diffusion region and extending in a vertical direction; a second diffusion region on the channel region; and a gate electrode at a sidewall of, and insulated from, the channel region. A horizontal transistor is positioned on the substrate, the horizontal transistor comprising: a first diffusion region and a second diffusion region on the substrate and spaced apart from each other; a channel region on the substrate between the first diffusion region and the second diffusion region; and a gate electrode on the channel region and isolated from the channel region. A portion of a gate electrode of the vertical transistor and a portion of the gate electrode of the horizontal transistor are at a same vertical position in the vertical direction relative to the substrate.

Semiconductor integrated test structures are designed for electron beam inspection of semiconductor wafers. The test structures include pattern features that are formed in designated test regions of the wafer concurrently with pattern features of integrated circuits formed on the wafer. The test structures include conductive structures that are designed to enable differential charging between defective and non-defective features (or defective and non-defection portions of a given feature) to facilitate voltage contrast defect detection of CMOS devices, for example, using a single, low energy electron beam scan, notwithstanding the existence of p/n junctions in the wafer substrate or other elements/features.

A void space is formed by removing the sacrificial pattern. An amorphous silicon layer is formed in the contact hole and the void space. The amorphous silicon layer is transformed into a metal silicide layer.
