Abstract
An integrated circuit arrangement contains an MOS transistor surrounded by an insulation structure, the source and drain thereof being arranged laterally and in different depths. A channel thereof proceeds essentially perpendicular to the surface of the circuit arrangement. Since the channel length is determined by etching or by growing a layer, channel lengths as short as less than 50 nm can be realized. For the manufacture, most of the masks of the traditional circuit arrangements in which planar transistors are integrated are employed, this significantly facilitating incorporation into the semiconductor manufacture.
