Abstract

The present invention discloses a fabrication method of a vertical silicon nanowire field effect transistor having a low parasitic resistance, which relates to a field of an ultra-large-integrated-circuit fabrication technology. As compared with a conventional planar field effect transistor, on one hand the vertical silicon nanowire field effect transistor fabricated by the present invention can provide a good ability for suppressing a short channel effect due to the excellent gate control ability caused by the one-dimensional structure, and reduce a leakage current and a drain-induced barrier lowering (DIBL). On the other hand, an area of the transistor is further reduced and an integration degree of an IC system is increased.
