Abstract

A pumping MOS capacitor includes a substrate which is conductive and includes an irregular surface, a dielectric film formed along the irregular surface of the substrate and a gate formed on the dielectric film.

Claims (11)

1. A pumping MOS capacitor, comprising:

a substrate including impurities;

a dielectric film arranged along stepped portions formed on the substrate;

a gate arranged on the dielectric film; and

a source and a drain arranged in the substrate on two sides of the gate, respectively;

wherein the source and the drain include impurities of the same conductive type as the impurities of the substrate and the stepped portions form any pattern selected from the group consisting of a recess pattern, a fin pattern, a saddle pattern, or a combination thereof and form a corrugated surface.

2. The pumping MOS capacitor as recited in claim 1 , wherein the gate includes a corrugated surface having steps formed above the source and the drain.

3. The pumping MOS capacitor as recited in claim 1 , wherein the substrate is conductive.

4. The pumping MOS capacitor as recited in claim 1 , wherein the substrate is conductive due to the impurities.

5. The pumping MOS capacitor as recited in claim 4 , wherein the impurities are N-type or P-type impurities.

6. The pumping MOS capacitor as recited in claim 1 , wherein the gate comprises a conductive film.
