Abstract
Short channel effects in vertical MOSFET transistors are considerably reduced, junction leakage in DRAM cells is reduced and other device parameters are unaffected in a transistor having a vertically asymmetric threshold implant. A preferred embodiment has the peak of the threshold implant moved from the conventional location of midway between source and drain to a point no more than one third of the channel length below the bottom of the source.
