Abstract
A method for forming a vertical channel transistor of a semiconductor device includes forming a plurality of pillar patterns over a substrate, forming a gate insulation layer encapsulating the resultant pillar pattern structure, forming a surrounding gate electrode conduction layer surrounding the sidewalls of the pillar pattern including the gate insulation layer, filling a sacrificial layer to a predetermined height of a surrounding gate electrode in a gap region between neighboring pillar patterns having the surrounding gate electrode conduction layer, and forming the surrounding gate electrode by removing a portion of the surrounding gate electrode conduction layer exposed by the sacrificial layer.
