Abstract
A multi-bit capacitorless DRAM according to the embodiment of the present invention may be provided that includes: a substrate; a source and a drain formed on the substrate; a plurality of nanowire channels formed on the substrate; a gate insulation layer formed in the plurality of nanowire channels; and a gate formed on the gate insulation layer. Two or more nanowire channels among the plurality of nanowire channels have different threshold voltages. Each of the nanowire channels includes: a silicon layer; a first epitaxial layer which is formed to surround the silicon layer; and a second epitaxial layer which is formed to surround the first epitaxial layer. As a result, the high integration multi-bit capacitorless DRAM which operates at multi-bits can be implemented and a performance of accumulating excess holes can be improved by using energy band gap.
