Abstract

Provided are a dual structure FinFET and a method of fabricating the same. The FinFET includes: a lower device including a lower silicon layer formed on a substrate and a gate electrode vertically formed on the substrate; an upper device including an upper silicon layer formed on the lower device and the vertically formed gate electrode; and a first solid source material layer, a solid source material interlayer insulating layer, and a second solid source material layer sequentially formed between the lower silicon layer and the upper silicon layer. Therefore, the FinFET can be provided which enhances the density of integration of a circuit, suppresses thin film damages due to ion implantation using solid phase material layers, and has a stabilized characteristic by a simple and low-cost process. Also, mobility of an upper device can be improved to enhance current drivability of the upper device, isolation can be implemented through a buried oxide layer to reduce an effect due to a field oxide layer, and raised source and drain can be implemented to reduce serial resistance components of the source and drain to increase current drivability.
