  • Patent number: 7195962
    Abstract: Provided is a MOSFET with an ultra short channel length and a method of fabricating the same. The ultra short channel MOSFET has a silicon wire channel region with a three-dimensional structure, and a source/drain junction formed in a silicon conductive layer formed of both sides of the silicon wire channel region. Also, a gate electrode formed on the upper surface of the silicon wire channel region by interposing a gate insulating layer having a high dielectric constant therebetween, and source and drain electrodes connected to the source/drain junction are included. The silicon wire channel region is formed with a triangular or trapezoidal section by taking advantage of different etch rates that depend on the planar orientation of the silicon. The source/drain junction is formed by a solid-state diffusion method.

  • Patent number: 6995452
    Abstract: Provided are an SOI MOSFET device with a nanoscale channel that has a source/drain region including a shallow extension region and a deep junction region formed by solid-phase diffusion and a method of manufacturing the SOI MOSFET device. In the method of manufacturing the MOSFET device, the shallow extension region and the deep junction region that form the source/drain region are formed at the same time using first and second silicon oxide films doped with different impurities. The effective channel length of the device can be scaled down by adjusting the thickness and etching rate of the second silicon oxide film doped with the second impurity. The source/drain region is formed on the substrate before the formation of a gate electrode, thereby easily controlling impurity distribution in the channel. An impurity activation process of the source/drain region can be omitted, thereby preventing a change in a threshold voltage of the device. A solid-phase impurity is diffused.

  • Patent number: 6770534
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an ultra small size vertical MOSFET device having a vertical channel and a source/drain structure and a method for the manufacture thereof by using a silicon on insulator (SOI) substrate. To begin with, a first silicon conductive layer is formed by doping an impurity of a high concentration into a first single crystal silicon layer. Thereafter, a second single crystal silicon layer with the impurity of a low concentration and a second silicon conductive layer with the impurity of the high concentration are formed on the first silicon conductive layer. The second single crystal silicon layer and the second silicon conductive layer are vertically patterned into a predetermined configuration. Subsequently, a gate insulating layer is formed on entire surface.
