Abstract
Methods of forming field effect transistors having buried gate electrodes include the steps of forming a semiconductor substrate having a sacrificial gate electrode buried beneath a surface of the semiconductor substrate and then removing the sacrificial gate electrode to define a gate electrode cavity beneath the surface. The gate electrode cavity is lined with a gate insulating layer. The lined gate electrode cavity is filled with a first insulated gate electrode. A second insulated gate electrode is also formed on a portion of the semiconductor substrate extending opposite the first insulated gate electrode so that a channel region of the field effect transistor extends between the first and second insulated gate electrodes. Source and drain regions are also formed adjacent opposite ends of the first and second insulated gate electrodes.
