Abstract

The vertical transistor includes, on a semiconductor substrate, a vertical pillar 5 having one of the source and drain regions at the top, the other of the source and drain regions being situated in the substrate at the periphery of the pillar, a gate dielectric layer 7 situated on the flanks of the pillar and on the top surface of the substrate, and a semiconductor gate resting on the gate dielectric layer. The gate includes a semiconductor block having a first region 800 resting on the gate dielectric layer 7 and a second region 90 facing at least portions of the source and drain regions and separated from those source and drain region portions by dielectric cavities 14S, 14D.
