A vertical bipolar transistor including a substrate including a first well of a first conductivity type and a second well of a second conductivity type different from the first conductivity type, the first well adjoining the second well, a first fin extending, from the first well, a second fin extending from the first well, a third fin extending from the second well, a first conductive region on the first fin, having the second conductivity type and configured to serve as an emitter of the vertical bipolar transistor, a second conductive region on the second fin, having the first conductivity type, and configured to serve as a base of the vertical bipolar transistor, and a third conductive region on the third fin, having the second conductivity type, and configured to serve as a collector of the vertical bipolar transistor may be provided.

Vertical bipolar transistors

A vertical field effect transistor is provided as follows. A substrate has a lower drain and a lower source arranged along a first direction in parallel to an upper surface of the substrate. A fin structure is disposed on the substrate and extended vertically from the upper surface of the substrate. The fin structure includes a first end portion and a second end portion arranged along the first direction. A bottom surface of a first end portion of the fin structure and a bottom surface of a second end portion of the fin structure overlap the lower drain and the lower source, respectively. The fin structure includes a sidewall having a lower sidewall region, a center sidewall region and an upper sidewall region. A gate electrode surrounds the center side sidewall region of the fin structure.
