Patent ID: 7173303

Claim:
A double-gated/double-channel FIN metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET) comprising: a bottom Si-containing layer; an insulating region present atop said bottom Si-containing layer, said insulating region having at least one partial opening therein; a gate region formed in said partial opening, said gate region comprising two regions of gate conductor that are separated from vertical fin-shaped silicon-containing channel regions by an insulating film, said insulating film comprising a gate dielectric and having opposite vertical surfaces adjacent to the vertical fin-shaped silicon-containing channel regions; source/drain diffusion regions abutting said gate region, said source/drain diffusion regions having junctions that are self-aligned to the vertical fin-shaped silicon-containing channels regions and the gate region; and insulating spacers in said partial opening that separate the gate region and the source/drain diffusion regions formed orthogonal to said insulating film; wherein said gate region is between said insulating spacers; and wherein the gate region is self-aligned to the source/drain diffusion regions and the vertical fin-shaped silicon-containing channel regions.
