Scalable two-transistor memory devices having metal source/drain regions and methods of fabricating the same

摘要

A scalable two-transistor memory (STTM) device includes a planar transistor and a vertical transistor on a semiconductor substrate. The planar transistor includes spaced apart metal silicide source/drain regions on the substrate and a floating gate electrode on the substrate between the metal silicide source/drain regions that controls a channel region of the planar transistor. The vertical transistor includes a tunnel junction structure on the floating gate electrode and a control gate electrode on a sidewall of the tunnel junction structure that controls a channel region of the vertical transistor. Related methods of forming STTM devices are also discussed.
