  • Patent number: 7935600
    Abstract: A multi-channel transistor device and a method of manufacturing the same are provided. The method of a manufacturing a multi-channel transistor device includes defining an active region in a semiconductor substrate by forming an isolation layer exposing an upper side portion of the active region. An active expanding region is formed on the exposed upper side portion of the active region by selective epitaxial growth (SEG). A portion of the active region is selectively etched to define first channel bars in the active expanding region that extend between first and second laterally separated portions of the active region and a second channel bar that is an unetched portion of the active region. A portion of the isolation layer is selectively removed such as to expose side portions of the second channel bar and bottom surface portions of the first channel bars. A gate is formed on the first and second channel bars with a gate dielectric layer between the gate and the channel bars.

  • Patent number: 7429505
    Abstract: Methods of fabricating a fin field effect transistor (FinFET) are disclosed. Embodiments of the invention provide methods of fabricating FinFETs by optimizing a method for forming the fin so that a short channel effect is prevented and high integration is achieved. Accordingly, the fin which has a difficulty in its formation using the current photolithography-etching technique may be readily formed.

  • Patent number: 7393769
    Abstract: According to some embodiments of the invention, transistors of a semiconductor device have a punchthrough protection layer, and methods of forming the same are provided. A channel-portion hole extends downward from a main surface of a semiconductor substrate. A punchthrough protection layer and a channel-portion layer are sequentially formed at a lower portion of the channel-portion hole. A word line pattern fills an upper portion of the channel-portion hole, and is formed on the semiconductor substrate. The word line pattern is formed to have a word line and a word line capping layer pattern stacked thereon, and the channel-portion layer is a channel region. The punchthrough protection layer can reduce a leakage current of a capacitor of the transistor embodied in a DRAM.
