Abstract:
A vertical gate all around (VGAA) is provided. In embodiments, the VGAA has a nanowire with a first contact pad and a second contact pad. A gate electrode is utilized to help define a channel region within the nanowire. In additional embodiments multiple nanowires, multiple bottom contacts, multiple top contacts, and multiple gate contacts are utilized.

Claim (Index 8):
A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device, the method comprising:\n removing a portion of a semiconductor substrate to form a nanowire; forming a first contact in physical connection with the nanowire and a remainder of the semiconductor substrate; depositing a gate dielectric adjacent to the nanowire after the forming the first contact; depositing a gate electrode adjacent to the gate dielectric after the depositing the gate dielectric; depositing a first dielectric layer over the gate electrode; depositing a second dielectric layer over the first dielectric layer, the second dielectric layer being different from the first dielectric layer, wherein after the depositing the second dielectric layer the second dielectric layer is part of a planar surface with the nanowire; and depositing a second contact in direct physical contact with the planar surface.
