  • Patent number: 7927932
    Abstract: A semiconductor device according to example embodiments may have a plurality of stacked transistors. The semiconductor device may have a lower insulating layer formed on a semiconductor substrate and an upper channel body pattern formed on the lower insulating layer. A source region and a drain region may be formed within the upper channel body pattern, and a non-metal transfer gate electrode may be disposed on the upper channel body pattern between the source and drain regions. The non-metal transfer gate electrode, the upper channel body pattern, and the lower insulating layer may be covered by an intermediate insulating layer. A metal word line may be disposed within the intermediate insulating layer to contact at least an upper surface of the non-metal transfer gate electrode. An insulating spacer may be disposed on a sidewall of the metal word line.
