Vertical MOSFET's


100 nm Vertical MOSFET

Over the past 20 years, the channel length of MOS transistors has halved at intervals of approximately every two or three years, which has led to a virtuous circle of increasing packing density (more complex electronic products), increasing performance (higher clock frequencies) and decreasing costs per unit silicon area. To continue on this path, Research is underway at Southampton University to investigate an alternative method of fabricating short-channel MOS transistors, socalled Vertical MOSFET's. In these devices the channel is perpendicular to the wafer surface in stead of in the plane of the surface. Vetical MOSFET's have three main advantages:
