Abstract
This is a method of forming a vertical transistor device. The method comprises: forming a n-type source layer 12; forming a p+ carbon doped gate layer 14; forming a gate structure from the gate layer; and forming a n-type drain layer 16 over the gate structure to provide a buried carbon doped gate structure. The buried carbon doped gate structure provides a very small device with favorable on-resistance, junction capacitance, gate resistance, and gate driving voltage. Other devices and methods are also disclosed.
