A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device includes providing a substrate structure including a substrate and a semiconductor column vertically protruding from the substrate, sequentially forming a first protective layer and a second protective layer on the substrate, etching a portion of the second protective layer to expose a portion of the first protective layer on the substrate and a portion of the first protective layer on an upper surface of the semiconductor column, removing the exposed portion of the first protective layer on the substrate to expose a lower portion of the semiconductor column, removing a remaining portion of the second protective layer, and forming a first contact material layer on the substrate and in contact with the lower portion of the semiconductor column. The first contact material layer in contact with the lower portion of the semiconductor column does not increase the source series resistance.

A semiconductor device includes a substrate, a semiconductor column vertically disposed on the substrate, a first contact material layer on the substrate and in contact with a lower portion of the semiconductor column, a first insulating material layer on the first contact material layer and having an upper surface lower than an upper surface of the semiconductor column, a gate dielectric material layer on the first insulating material layer and on a portion of sidewalls of the semiconductor column while exposing an upper portion of the semiconductor column, and a gate stack structure on the gate dielectric material layer and surrounding a portion of the gate dielectric material layer on the sidewalls of the semiconductor column. The gate stack structure includes from inside to outside a P-type work function layer, an N-type work function layer, and a gate.

Vertical transistor having dual work function materials and method for fabricating thereof

A semiconductor device and its manufacturing method are presented. The manufacturing method includes providing a semiconductor structure comprising a substrate, at least one source region on the substrate, an interlayer dielectric layer covering a portion of the source region and having a cavity on the source region, and a pseudo gate insulation layer at the bottom of the cavity covering a portion of the source region; forming a barrier layer in the cavity; forming a loss reduction region in the interlayer dielectric layer by conducting an ion implantation process comprising silicon ion or carbon ion; removing the barrier layer; removing the pseudo gate insulation layer to expose a portion of the source region; and forming a gate structure on the exposed portion of the source region. This inventive concept reduces the loss of the interlayer dielectric layer, thus reduces the height loss of the gate electrode.
