Abstract

At least one layer of insulator film and single-crystal film are alternately stacked and deposited on a surface of a semiconductor substrate, and an impurity-doped region formed in each semiconductor film is used as a gate, source or drain of a MOS transistor. Thus, a three-dimensional semiconductor device is constructed in which MOS transistors are arranged, not only in the direction of the semiconductor substrate surface, but also in a direction perpendicular thereto.
