VERTICAL TRANSPORT FIELD-EFFECT TRANSISTOR STRUCTURE HAVING INCREASED EFFECTIVE WIDTH AND SELF-ALIGNED ANCHOR FOR SOURCE/DRAIN REGION FORMATION

摘要

A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device includes forming a plurality of fins on a substrate. The plurality of fins each include a first portion having a first width, and a second portion having a second width greater than the first width. The method also includes forming a sacrificial layer on the substrate in a space between a first fin and a second fin of the plurality of fins, wherein the first fin and the second fin correspond to a vertical transistor. In the method, lower portions of the first and second fins are removed, and an epitaxial region is formed under remaining portions of the first and second fins. The sacrificial layer is removed from the space between the first fin and the second fin after forming the epitaxial region.
