Abstract

A fin FET structure employs a negative word line scheme. A gate electrode of a fin FET employs an electrode doped with n+ impurity, and a channel doping for a control of threshold voltage is not executed, or the channel doping is executed by a low density, thereby remarkably improving characteristics of the fin FET. A semiconductor substrate is formed in a first conductive type, and a fin active region of a first conductive type is projected from an upper surface of the semiconductor substrate and is connected to the semiconductor substrate. An insulation layer is formed on the semiconductor substrate, and a gate insulation layer is formed in upper part and sidewall of the fin active region. A gate electrode is formed on the insulation layer and the gate insulation layer. Source and drain are formed in the fin active region of both sides of the gate electrode.
