Popis: We propose a Vertical /spl Phi/-shape Transistor (V/spl Phi/T) cell for 1 Gbit DRAM and beyond. The V/spl Phi/T is a vertical MOSFET whose gate surrounds its channel region like a Greek alphabet /spl Phi/. It is built by penetration of the gate electrode (=word line) which has been formed beforehand. Application of the V/spl Phi/T for DRAM cell brings about cell size reduction to 50% and process simplification of about 10% at least. This is mainly because its bit line contact and the V/spl Phi/T are vertically aligned and storage node contact is eliminated. We have indicated that the V/spl Phi/T is an interesting candidate for the gigabit DRAM in view of size, cost and performance. >
