Semiconductor device gate structure and method of forming the same

摘要

A MOS transistor includes a gate structure extending forrom a semiconductor substrate in a vertical direction is disclosed. The gate structure includes a gate electrode extending from the substrate in a vertical direction, and a gate insulation layer enclosing the gate electrode. A channel pattern encloses the gate insulation layer, and a first conductive pattern extends from a lower portion of the channel pattern in a first direction verticalperpendicular to the channel pattern and in parallel with the substrate. A second conductive pattern extends from an upper portion of the channel pattern in a second direction verticalperpendicular to the channel pattern and in parallel with the substrate. Accordingly, the channel length of the MOS transistor is determined by a distance between the first and second conductive patterns, and a channel width of the MOS transistor is determined by a diameter of the gate structure. Short channel and narrow width effects are sufficiently prevented in a MOS transistor.
