SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICES INCLUDING VERTICAL CHANNEL TRANSISTORS AND METHODS OF FABRICATING THE SAME

摘要

Methods of fabricating semiconductor devices may include forming first trenches in a substrate to define fin patterns and forming buried dielectric patterns filling lower regions of the first trenches. The first trenches extend in parallel. A gate dielectric layer is formed on upper inner sidewalls of the first trenches, and a gate conductive layer filling the first trenches is formed on the substrate including the gate dielectric layer. The gate conductive layer, the gate dielectric layer and the fin patterns are patterned to form second trenches crossing the first trenches and defining active pillars. Semiconductor devices may also be provided.
