Vertical fin field effect transistor, vertical fin field effect transistor arrangement, and method for forming a vertical fin field effect transistor

Abstract

A vertical fin field-effect transistor. The transistor has a semiconductor fin, an n-doped source region, an n-doped drift region, an n-doped channel region in the semiconductor fin situated vertically between the source region and the drift region, a gate region horizontally adjacent to the channel region, a gate dielectric electrically insulating the gate region from the channel region, a boundary surface between the gate dielectric and the channel region having negative boundary surface charges, a p-doped gate shielding region situated below the gate region so that, given the vertical projection, the gate shielding region is situated within a surface limited by the gate dielectric, a source contact electrically conductively connected to the source region, and an electrically conductive region between the gate region and the p-doped gate shielding region. The p-doped gate shielding region is electrically conductively connected to the source contact by the electrically conductive region.
