Abstract:
The disclosed technology generally relates semiconductor devices and more particularly to a vertical transistor device, and a method of fabricating the same. In one aspect, the method includes providing, on a substrate, a fin formed of a stack of a first layer, a second layer and a third layer, wherein the second layer is positioned above the first layer and the third layer is positioned above the second layer. The method additionally includes forming a dielectric on the sidewalls of the first and third layers of the fin selectively against a sidewall of the second layer, and the method additionally includes forming a gate contacting layer for contacting a sidewall of the second layer. The first and third layers define a source region and a drain region, respectively, of the vertical transistor device. The second layer defines a channel region of the vertical transistor device. The dielectric on the sidewalls of the first and third layers electrically isolates the source and drain regions from the gate contacting layer.

Claim (Index 4):
The method according to  claim 1 , further comprising providing at least two parallel fins, wherein:\n the gate contacting layer comprises at least three parallel gate lines, the gate lines being isolated from each other and orthogonal to the at least two fins; and each of the fins comprises a first vertical region for forming an N-type transistor device, and a second vertical region for forming a P-type transistor device.
