Improving reliability and diminishing parasitic capacitance effects in a vertical transistor with embedded gate

We present a new vertical sidewall MOSFET with embedded gate (EGVMOS) to reduce the parasitic capacitance which is the major disadvantage in a conventional VMOS. According to simulations, our EGVMOS can not only achieve about 86.34% and 54.76% reduction at Cgd at VDs = 0.05 V and 1.0 V respectively, but also improves the device reliability due to suppressed kink effects, in comparison with a conventional VMOS.
