    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device is provided. The method for manufacturing a semiconductor device comprises providing a first substrate including a buffer layer and a base substrate, forming a stacked mold structure including a plurality of unit laminates on the buffer layer, each of the unit laminates including a first sacrificial layer, a first silicon layer, a second sacrificial layer, and a second silicon layer sequentially stacked in a vertical direction and replacing the stacked mold structure with a stacked memory structure through a replacement process, wherein the stacked memory structure includes a metal pattern which replaces the first sacrificial layer and the second sacrificial layer, and an insulating pattern which replaces the second silicon layer, the buffer layer includes silicon-germanium, and a germanium concentration of the buffer layer varies depending on the germanium concentration of the first sacrificial layer and the germanium concentration of the second sacrificial layer.

    Abstract: Vertical field-effect transistor (VFET) devices and methods of forming the devices are provided. The methods may include forming a channel region including a first channel region and a second channel region, forming a first cavity in the substrate, forming a first bottom source/drain in the first cavity, forming a second cavity in the substrate, and forming a second bottom source/drain in the second cavity. The first cavity may expose a lower surface of the first channel region, and the second cavity may expose a lower surface of the second channel region. The method may also include after forming the first bottom source/drain and the second bottom source/drain, removing a portion of the channel region between the first channel region and the second channel region to separate the first channel region from the second channel region.

    Abstract: A vertical field-effect transistor (VFET) device and a method of manufacturing the same are provided. The VFET device includes: a fin structure formed on a substrate; a gate structure including a gate dielectric layer formed on an upper portion of a sidewall of the fin structure, and a conductor layer formed on a lower portion of the gate dielectric layer; a top source/drain (S/D) region formed above the fin structure and the gate structure; a bottom S/D region formed below the fin structure and the gate structure; a top spacer formed on an upper portion of the gate dielectric layer, and between the top S/D region and a top surface of the conductor layer; and a bottom spacer formed between the gate structure and the bottom S/D region. A top surface of the gate dielectric layer is positioned at the same or substantially same height as or positioned lower than a top surface of the top spacer, and higher than the top surface of the conductor layer.
