Abstract
A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor column including a first conductive region of first conductivity type, a second conductive region of second conductivity type, an intrinsic region disposed between the first conductive region and the second conductive region, and a barrier region of the first conductivity type disposed between the intrinsic region and the second conductive region. A gate electrode is disposed to cover the intrinsic region, and a gate insulating layer is disposed between the gate electrode and the intrinsic region. The semiconductor device may operate as a switch or a volatile memory according to a gate voltage applied to a gate and a drain voltage applied to a drain.
