摘要:
A vertical pass transistor used in a DRAM cell for maintaining a low total leakage current and providing adequate drive current is described together with a method of fabricating such a device. The transistor gate is engineered in lieu of the channel. The vertical pass transistor for the DRAM cell incorporates two gate materials having different work functions. The gate material near the storage node is n-type doped polysilicon. The gate material near the bit line diffusion is made of silicide or metal having a higher work function than the n-polysilicon. The novel device structure shows several advantages: the channel doping is reduced while maintaining a high Vt and a low sub-threshold leakage current; the carrier mobility improves with the reduced channel doping; the body effect of the device is reduced which improves the write back current; and the sub-threshold swing is reduced because of the low channel doping.

A method of formation of a deep trench vertical transistor is provided. A deep trench with a sidewall in a doped semiconductor substrate is formed. The semiconductor substrate includes a counterdoped drain region in the surface thereof and a channel alongside the sidewall. The drain region has a top level and a bottom level. A counterdoped source region is formed in the substrate juxtaposed with the sidewall below the channel. A gate oxide layer is formed on the sidewalls of the trench juxtaposed with a gate conductor. Perform the step of recessing the gate conductor below the bottom level of the drain region followed by performing angled ion implantation at an angle θ+δ with respect to vertical of a counterdopant into the channel below the source region and performing angled ion implantation at an angle θ with respect to vertical of a dopant into the channel below the source.

A method of fabrication and a field effect device structure are presented that reduce source/drain capacitance and allow for device body contact. A Si based material pedestal is produced, the top surface and the sidewalls of which are oriented in a way to be substantially parallel with selected crystallographic planes of the pedestal and of a supporting member. The pedestal is wet etched with an anisotropic solution containing ammonium hydroxide. The sidewalls of the pedestal become faceted forming a segment in the pedestal with a reduced cross section. The dopant concentration in the reduced cross section segment is chosen to be sufficiently high for it to provide for electrical continuity through the pedestal.

A method of fabricating a plurality of FinFETs on a semiconductor substrate in which the gate width of each individual FinFET is defined utilizing only a single etching process, instead of two or more, is provided. The inventive method results in improved gate width control and less variation of the gate width of each individual gate across the entire surface of the substrate. The inventive method achieves the above by utilizing a modified sidewall image transfer (SIT) process in which an insulating spacer that is later replaced by a gate conductor is employed and a high-density bottom up oxide fill is used to isolate the gate from the substrate.
