Patent ID: 7737501

Claim:
A finFET (fin Field Effect Transistor) transistor SRAM device including finFET transistors comprising: at least a first vertical fin and a second vertical fin formed on a substrate with each of said first and second vertical fins being of uniform height and of uniform width from one end to the other thereof and having bilateral sidewalls on opposite sides thereof with gate dielectric layers formed covering said bilateral sidewalls and a dielectric layer formed thereabove; said first fin including a first transistor with a first channel region juxtaposed with a first source region and a first drain region and a second transistor with a second channel region and a second source region and a second drain region; a first set of bilateral doped separate sidewall gate electrodes formed covering said gate dielectric layers proximate to said first channel region between said first source and drain regions on opposite sides of said first fin and said first channel region, with the type of doping of the gate electrodes matching the type of doping of said first source and drain regions; and said second fin including a third channel region juxtaposed with a third source region and a third drain region; a second set of bilateral doped separate sidewall gate electrodes formed covering said gate dielectric layers proximate to said third channel region between said third source and drain regions on opposite sides of said second fin and said first channel region, with the type of doping one of said second set of bilateral doped separate sidewall gate electrodes being counterdoped with respect to the type of doping of said second source and drain regions.
