Abstract:
A semiconductor device includes a buried isolation pattern between an active pattern on which transistors are formed and a substrate. The active pattern has adjacent sections each extending longitudinally in a first direction. A field isolation pattern is interposed between the adjacent sections of the active pattern. The buried isolation pattern has sections spaced apart from each other in the first direction under each section of the active pattern. Each section of the buried isolation pattern extends from a lower portion of the field isolation pattern in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. At least one gate structure is disposed on each section of the active pattern, and an impurity region is located adjacent to the gate structure at the upper surface of the active pattern. The impurity region is spaced from the buried isolation pattern in a third direction perpendicular to the first and second directions. The buried isolation pattern offers a control on the body effect caused by a bias applied to the substrate.

Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a transistor according to some embodiments includes sequentially forming a dummy gate oxide layer and a dummy gate electrode on an active region of a semiconductor substrate, ion-implanting a first conductive impurity into source/drain regions to form first impurity regions, and ion-implanting the first conductive impurity to form second impurity regions that are overlapped by the first impurity regions. The method includes forming a pad polysilicon layer on the source/drain regions, sequentially removing the pad polysilicon layer and the dummy gate electrode from a gate region of the semiconductor substrate, annealing the semiconductor substrate, and ion-implanting a second conductive impurity to form a third impurity region in the gate region. The method includes removing the dummy gate oxide layer, forming a gate insulation layer, and forming a gate electrode on the gate region.
Abstract:
A fin type MOSFET and a method of manufacturing the fin type MOSFET are disclosed. Gate structures in the fin type MOSFET are formed by a damascene process without a photolithography process. Impurities used to form a channel region are selectively implanted into portions of a semiconductor substrate adjacent to the gate structures.
Abstract:
Field effect transistors include a semiconductor substrate having a channel region of first conductivity type therein extending adjacent a surface thereof. Source and drain regions of second conductivity type are also provided at opposite ends of the channel region. The source and drain regions extend in the semiconductor substrate and form P-N rectifying junctions with the channel region. A gate electrode extends on the channel region and comprises a first electrically conductive material having a first work function. A first sub-gate electrode extends on the channel region and comprises a second electrically conductive material having a second work function that is unequal to the first work function. The second electrically conductive material is preferably selected so that a difference between the second work function and a work function of the channel region is sufficient to form an inversion-layer in a portion of the channel region extending opposite the first sub-gate electrode when the first sub-gate electrode is at a zero potential bias relative to the channel region.
Abstract:
A device isolation film and an active region are formed on a semiconductor substrate, using a first mask pattern to expose only a formation region of the device isolation film. Only the device isolation film is selectively etched by using the first mask pattern and a second mask pattern as an etch mask, to form a fin only on a gate formation region, the second mask pattern to expose only a gate electrode formation region. A gate insulation layer is formed on both sidewalls of the fin and a gate electrode covering the first mask pattern and the gate insulation layer is formed. Source and drain regions are formed on the remaining portion of the active region where the gate electrode was not formed. Gate electrode separation becomes adequate and manufacturing costs can be reduced.

A four transistor layout can include an isolation region that defines an active region, the active region extending along first and second different directions. A common source region of the four transistors extends from a center of the active region along both the first and second directions to define four quadrants of the active region that are outside the common source region. Four drain regions are provided, a respective one of which is in a respective one of the four quadrants and spaced apart from the common source region. Finally, four gate electrodes are provided, a respective one of which is in a respective one of the four quadrants between the common source region and a respective one of the four drain regions. A respective gate electrode includes a vertex and first and second extending portions, the first extending portions extending from the vertex along the first direction and the second extending portions extending from the vertex along the second direction.
