ABSTRACT:
A gate-all-around (GAA) transistor device has a pair of pillars that include the source/drain regions, a channel region bridging the source/drain regions, and a gate electrode and gate oxide which surround the channel region. The pillars are formed by providing a mono-crystalline silicon substrate, etching the substrate to form a pair of spaced-apart trenches such that a wall of the mono-crystalline silicon stands between the trenches, filling the trenches with insulative material, implanting impurities into the wall of mono-crystalline silicon, and forming an opening in the wall such that portions of the wall remain as pillars. A sacrificial layer is formed at the bottom of the opening. Then, the channel region is formed atop the sacrificial layer between the pillars. The sacrificial layer is subsequently removed and the gate oxide and gate electrode are formed around the channel region. One or more sidewall spacers are used to establish the effective width of the channel region and/or minimize parasitic capacitance between the source/drain regions and gate electrode.
