Abstract

A semiconductor device includes trenches defined in a substrate, buried bit lines partially filling the trenches, a first source/drain layer filling remaining portions of the trenches on the buried bit lines, stack patterns having a channel layer and a second source/drain layer stacked therein and bonded to the first source/drain layer, wherein the channel layer contacts with the first source/drain layer, and word lines crossing with the buried bit lines and disposed adjacent to sidewalls of the channel layer.

Claims (20)

1. A semiconductor device comprising:

trenches defined in a substrate;

buried bit lines partially filling the trenches;

a first source/drain layer filling remaining portions of the trenches on the buried bit lines;

stack patterns having a channel layer and a second source/drain layer stacked therein and bonded to the first source/drain layer, wherein the channel layer contacts with the first source/drain layer; and

word lines crossing with the buried bit lines and disposed adjacent to sidewalls of the channel layer.

2. The semiconductor device according to claim 1 , wherein the substrate includes a dielectric layer formed thereon, and the trenches are defined in the dielectric layer.

3. The semiconductor device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a punch-through preventing layer formed in the substrate; and

a dielectric layer formed on surfaces of the trenches.

4. The semiconductor device according to claim 3 , wherein the trenches are defined in the punch-through preventing layer.

5. The semiconductor device according to claim 1 , wherein a surface of the first source/drain layer and a surface of the substrate are flush with each other.

6. The semiconductor device according to claim 1 , wherein the stack patterns are pillar type patterns are disposed at intersections of the word lines with the buried bit lines.

7. The semiconductor device according to claim 6 , wherein the word lines extend in one direction and surround the channel layer of the stack patterns.

8. The semiconductor device according to claim 6 , wherein the first source/drain layer is disposed between the stack patterns and the buried bit lines at the intersections.

9. The semiconductor device according to claim 8 , further comprising:

a dielectric layer filled in remaining portions of the trenches between portions of the first source/drain layer on the buried bit lines.

10. The semiconductor device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a gate dielectric layer interposed between the channel layer and the word lines.

11. The semiconductor device according to claim 10 , wherein the gate dielectric layer extends to lower surfaces of the word lines.
