Abstract: A semiconductor device and a method for manufacturing the same are disclosed. The method comprises: forming at least one trench in a first semiconductor layer, wherein at least lower portions of respective sidewalls of the trench tilt toward outside of the trench; filling a dielectric material in the trench, thinning the first semiconductor layer so that the first semiconductor layer is recessed with respect to the dielectric material, and epitaxially growing a second semiconductor layer on the first semiconductor layer, wherein the first semiconductor layer and the semiconductor layer comprise different materials from each other. According to embodiments of the disclosure, defects occurring during the heteroepitaxial growth can be effectively suppressed.

Abstract: The present application discloses a 3D semiconductor memory device having 1T1R memory configuration based on a vertical-type gate-around transistor, and a manufacturing method thereof. A on/off current ratio can be well controlled by changing a width and a length of a channel of the gate-around transistor, so as to facilitate multi-state operation of the 1T1R memory cell. Moreover, the vertical transistor has a smaller layout size than a horizontal transistor, so as to reduce the layout size effectively. Thus, the 3D semiconductor memory device can be integrated into an array with a high density.
