Abstract:
In a SRAM cell, a Si pillar, which is a selection SGT in upper row of Si pillars, is located on the left end in X direction. A Si pillar, which is a selection SGT in lower row of Si pillars, is located on the right end. The Si pillar of the lower row is present in a width of an area extended from a contact hole in Y direction in planar view. Then, the Si pillar of the upper row is present in a width of an area extended from a contact hole in Y direction in planar view. In each of the upper row and the lower row, a TiN layer, which is a gate electrode for a loading SGT and a driving SGT, is formed to contact at side surface of entire gate region in a vertical direction between the corresponding Si pillars.

Abstract:
A semiconductor device production method includes a first step of forming a planar silicon layer on a silicon substrate and forming first and second pillar-shaped silicon layers on the planar silicon layer; a second step of forming a gate insulating film around the first and second pillar-shaped silicon layers, forming a metal film and a polysilicon film around the gate insulating film, controlling a thickness of the polysilicon film to be smaller than a half of a distance between the first and second pillar-shaped silicon layers, depositing a resist, exposing the polysilicon film on side walls of upper portions of the first and second pillar-shaped semiconductor layers, etching-away the exposed polysilicon film, stripping the third resist, and etching-away the metal film; and a third step of forming a resist for forming a gate line and performing anisotropic etching to form a gate line and first and second gate electrodes.
Abstract:
A second band-like mask material layer having a first band-like mask material layer of a same planar shape on its top is formed on a mask material layer on a semiconductor layer. Then, fourth band-like mask material layers having third band-like mask material layers of same planar shape on their top are formed on both side surfaces of the first and second band-like mask material layers. Sixth band-like mask material layers having fifth band-like mask material layers of same planar shape on their top are formed on the outside thereof. Then, an orthogonal band-like mask material layer is formed on the first band-like mask material layer, in a direction orthogonal to a direction in which the first band-like mask material layer extends. Semiconductor pillars are formed on overlapping areas of this orthogonal band-like mask material layer and the second and sixth band-like mask material layers by etching the semiconductor layer. Then, a pillar-shaped semiconductor device is formed with these semiconductor pillars being channels.
