Abstract
In semiconductor devices, and methods of formation thereof, both planar-type memory devices and vertically oriented thin body devices are formed on a common semiconductor layer. In a memory device, for example, it is desirable to have planar-type transistors in a peripheral region of the device, and vertically oriented thin body transistor devices in a cell region of the device. In this manner, the advantageous characteristics of each type of device can be applied to appropriate functions of the memory device.
