A Schottky barrier tunnel transistor includes a gate electrode, and source and drain regions. The gate electrode is formed over a channel region of a substrate to form a Schottky junction with the substrate. The source and drain regions are formed in the substrate exposed on both sides of the gate electrode.

Method for fabricating Schottky barrier tunnel transistor

Provided is a method for fabricating a Schottky barrier tunnel transistor (SBTT) that can fundamentally prevent the generation of a gate leakage current caused by damage of spacers formed on both sidewalls of a gate electrode. The method for fabricating a Schottky barrier tunnel transistor, which includes: a) forming a silicon pattern and a sacrificial pattern on a buried oxide layer supported by a support substrate; b) forming a source/drain region on the buried oxide layer exposed on both sides of the silicon pattern, the source/drain region being formed of a metal layer and being in contact with both sidewalls of the silicon pattern; c) removing the sacrificial pattern to expose the top surface of the silicon pattern; and d) forming a gate insulating layer and a gate electrode on the exposed silicon pattern.
