Abstract:
A device and method for forming a vertical channel device is disclosed. The method includes: forming a vertical semiconductor pillar on a substrate, the vertical semiconductor pillar including a first pillar section, a second pillar section and a third pillar section, wherein the second pillar section is arranged between the first pillar section and the third pillar section and wherein the second pillar section is formed of a material being different from a material forming an upper portion of the first pillar section and different from a material forming a lower portion of the third pillar section; forming a spacer layer on a peripheral surface of the upper portion of the first pillar section and on a peripheral surface of the lower portion of the third pillar section; and forming a gate stack embedding the second pillar section and said upper portion of the first pillar section and said lower portion of the third pillar section, wherein the spacer layer forms a spacer between the gate stack and said upper portion of the first pillar section and between the gate stack and said lower portion of the third pillar section.

Claim (Index 13):
The method according to  claim 1 , wherein forming the gate stack includes:\n forming at least a first conductive layer embedding the second pillar section and said upper portion of the first pillar section and said lower portion of the third pillar section; and patterning said first conductive layer.
