Abstract

A semiconductor device comprises a first insulating layer, a gate electrode formed on the insulating layer, a second insulating layer formed on the gate electrode, an opening formed through the second insulating layer, the gate electrode and the first insulating layer, a gate insulating layer formed to overlay the inner surface of the opening, a monocrystalline silicon layer formed on the gate insulating layer within the opening to oppose the gate electrode, a monocrystalline silicon layer formed within the opening to make contact with the monocrystalline silicon layer and oppose the first insulating layer, and a monocrystalline silicon layer formed within the opening to make contact with the monocrystalline silicon layer and oppose the second insulating layer.
