  • Patent number: 8835259
    Abstract: Provided are a transistor of a semiconductor device and a method for manufacturing the same. A gate induced drain leakage (GIDL) current is reduced by decreasing a work function at an upper portion of a gate electrode, and a threshold voltage of the transistor is maintained by maintaining a work function at a lower portion of the gate electrode at a high level, thereby reducing a leakage current of the transistor and reducing a read time and a write time of the semiconductor device. The transistor of the semiconductor device includes: a recess with a predetermined depth in a semiconductor substrate; a first gate electrode disposed within the recess; and a second gate electrode disposed on the first gate electrode into which ions of one or more of nitrogen (N), oxygen (O), arsenic (As), aluminum (Al), and hydrogen (H) are doped.
