  • a second first-conductivity-type semiconductor layer and a first second-conductivity-type semiconductor layer may be formed in the first pillar-shaped silicon layer.

Abstract

A method for producing a semiconductor device includes depositing an oxide film containing an impurity having a first conductivity type on a substrate. A nitride film and an oxide film containing an impurity having a second conductivity type different from the first conductivity type are deposited. The oxide film having the first conductivity type, the nitride film, and the oxide film having the second conductivity type are etched to form a contact hole. Epitaxial growth is performed in the contact hole to form a pillar-shaped silicon layer. The nitride film is removed and a metal is deposited to form an output terminal.

Description

    RELATED APPLICATIONS
  • The present application is a divisional application of U.S. application Ser. No. 14/743,570 filed Jun. 18, 2015, which claims priority to PCT/JP2014/068707, filed Jul. 14, 2014, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
    • BACKGROUND 1. Technical Field
  • The present invention relates to a method for producing a semiconductor device and a semiconductor device.
    • 2. Description of the Related Art
  • The degree of integration of semiconductor integrated circuits, in particular, integrated circuits using MOS transistors has been increasing. With the increasing degree of integration, the size of MOS transistors used in integrated circuits has been decreased to nano-scale dimensions. Such a decrease in the size of MOS transistors causes difficulty in suppressing leak currents, which poses a problem in that it is hard to reduce the area occupied by the circuits because of the requirements of the secure retention of necessary currents. To address the problem, a surrounding gate transistor (hereinafter referred to as an “SGT”) having a structure in which a source, a gate, and a drain are arranged vertically with respect to a substrate and a gate electrode surrounds a pillar-shaped semiconductor layer has been proposed (e.g., refer to Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication Nos. 2-71556, 2-188966, and 3-145761).
  • In known inverters that use an SGT, a single transistor is formed in a single silicon pillar, and an nMOS transistor constituted by a single silicon pillar and a pMOS transistor constituted by a single silicon pillar are formed on a plane (e.g., refer to Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 2008-300558). Since at least two silicon pillars are formed on a plane, an area corresponding to the at least two silicon pillars is required.
  • In known nonvolatile memories, a plurality of gates are formed in a single silicon pillar (e.g., refer to Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 2014-57068). A gate insulating film is formed on a sidewall of the silicon pillar, and a source line and a bit line are connected to an upper end and a lower end of the silicon pillar, respectively.
    • SUMMARY
  • Accordingly, an object is to provide an inverter circuit formed of a single semiconductor pillar.
  • A semiconductor device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a third first-conductivity-type semiconductor layer formed on a semiconductor substrate; a first pillar-shaped semiconductor layer formed on the semiconductor substrate, the first pillar-shaped semiconductor layer including a first first-conductivity-type semiconductor layer, a first body region, a second first-conductivity-type semiconductor layer, a first second-conductivity-type semiconductor layer, a second body region, a second second-conductivity-type semiconductor layer, and a third second-conductivity-type semiconductor layer formed from a substrate side in that order; a first gate insulating film formed around the first body region; a first gate formed around the first gate insulating film; a second gate insulating film formed around the second body region; a second gate formed around the second gate insulating film; an output terminal connected to the second first-conductivity-type semiconductor layer and the first second-conductivity-type semiconductor layer; and a first contact that connects the first gate and the second gate.
  • The first gate insulating film may be further formed on an upper surface and a lower surface of the first gate, and the second gate insulating film may be further formed on an upper surface and a lower surface of the second gate.
  • The semiconductor device may include a first connection region formed between the second first-conductivity-type semiconductor layer and the first second-conductivity-type semiconductor layer.
  • The semiconductor device may include a first insulating film that surrounds the first first-conductivity-type semiconductor layer, a second insulating film that surrounds the second first-conductivity-type semiconductor layer, a third insulating film that surrounds the first second-conductivity-type semiconductor layer, and a fourth insulating film that surrounds the second second-conductivity-type semiconductor layer.
