Abstract:
According to one embodiment, a method includes forming a drain contact above a channel, each having a hollow circular cross-section thereof along a plane perpendicular to a film thickness direction, forming gate dielectric layers on sides of the drain contact and the channel, forming a source line positioned below the channel that is electrically coupled to a plurality of channels in a direction along the plane, forming gate layers on sides of the gate dielectric layers, where an inner gate layer fills a hole through a center of a center concentric circular cross-section of the gate dielectric layers along the plane, and where an outer gate layer surrounds an outside concentric circular cross-section of the gate dielectric layers along the plane, forming an electrode above the upper surface of the drain contact, and forming a fourth insulative layer on sides of the electrode along the plane.

Claim (Index 11):
The method as recited in  claim 10 , wherein forming the gate layers comprises:\n removing the second masking layer; forming a third insulative layer having a thickness in the film thickness direction that corresponds to a desired height of a lower surface of the gate layers; forming the gate layers above the third insulative layer on the sides of the gate dielectric layers; and removing an upper portion of the gate dielectric layers above the drain contact to expose an upper surface of the drain contact.
