Abstract:
A vertical transistor device includes a vertically-oriented channel semiconductor (VOCS) structure positioned above a substrate and a first bottom spacer positioned above the substrate adjacent the VOCS structure. The first bottom spacer extends around less than an entirety of a perimeter of the VOCS structure. A gate structure is positioned around the VOCS structure. Only a portion of the gate structure is positioned vertically above the first bottom spacer so as to thereby define an air gap that is positioned under the gate structure. The air gap extends around a majority of a perimeter of the VOCS structure and a second bottom spacer positioned above the substrate. An upper portion of the second bottom spacer contacts a material formed around the VOCS structure so as to seal the air gap. The second bottom spacer has a vertical thickness that is greater than a vertical thickness of the air gap.

Claim (Index 10):
The device of  claim 7 , wherein the material formed around the vertically-oriented channel semiconductor structure comprises one of the gate structure or a material positioned on the gate structure.
