Fabrication method of a vertical channel transistor

Abstract

Disclosed is a method for manufacturing a vertical channel transistor comprising the steps of: selectively implanting a dopant of high concentration into a semiconductor substrate to form a source region; firstly etching the semiconductor substrate using an insulator and a first photoresist pattern as a mask; secondly etching the substrate using a second photoresist pattern having a shape corresponding to said source region as a mask; implanting a dopant of low concentration into the exposed substrate using said second photoresist pattern as a mask to form a vertical channel layer; implanting a dopant of high concentration into the exposed substrate using same mask to form a drain region; activating said dopants, and forming an ohmic contact layer on said drain region; thirdly etching using a third photoresist pattern for exposing the firstly etched portion of the substrate as a mask; depositing a gate metal on the substrate exposed by the thirdly etching; and wiring a metal, respectively. This invention can be easily manufactured a vertical channel transistor having a low parasitic resistance and an extremely small gate length without sophicated complex processes.
