| abstract |
The present invention is a semiconductor device comprising a semiconducting low doped vertical super-thin body (VSTB) formed on Dielectric Body Wall (such as STI-wall as isolating substrate) having the body connection to bulk semiconductor wafer on the bottom side, isolation on the top side, and the channel, gate dielectric, and gate electrode on opposite to STI side surface. The body is made self-aligned to STI hard mask edge allowing tight control of body thickness. Source and Drain are made by etching holes vertically in STI at STI side of the body and filling with high doped crystalline or poly-Si appropriately doped with any appropriate silicides/metal contacts or with Schottky barrier Source/Drain. Gate first or Gate last approaches can be implemented. Many devices can be fabricated in single active area with body isolation between the devices by iso-plugs combined with gate electrode isolation by iso-trenches. The body can be made as an isolated nano-plate or set nano-wire MOSFET's on the STI wall to form VSTB SOI devices. |
