[0079] To facilitate understanding of this disclosure, a more complete description will now be given with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which preferred embodiments of the present disclosure are shown. However, this disclosure may be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete.
[0080] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this disclosure belongs. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of this disclosure.
[0081] It should be understood that when an element or layer is referred to as "on," "adjacent to," "connected to," or "coupled to" other elements or layers, it may be directly on, adjacent to, connected to, or coupled to other elements or layers, or there may be intervening elements or layers. Conversely, when an element is referred to as "directly on," "directly adjacent to," "directly connected to," or "directly coupled to" other elements or layers, there are no intervening elements or layers. It should be understood that although the terms first, second, third, etc., may be used to describe various elements, parts, regions, layers, doping types, and / or portions, these elements, parts, regions, layers, doping types, and / or portions should not be limited by these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish one element, part, region, layer, doping type, or portion from another element, part, region, layer, doping type, or portion. Therefore, without departing from the teachings of this invention, the first element, component, region, layer, doping type, or portion discussed below may be represented as a second element, component, region, layer, or portion; for example, the first doping type may be referred to as the second doping type, and similarly, the second doping type may be referred to as the first doping type; the first doping type and the second doping type are different doping types, for example, the first doping type may be P-type and the second doping type may be N-type, or the first doping type may be N-type and the second doping type may be P-type.
[0082] Spatial relation terms such as “below,” “under,” “below,” “under,” “above,” “above,” etc., are used herein to describe the relationship between one element or feature shown in the figure and other elements or features. It should be understood that, in addition to the orientation shown in the figure, spatial relation terms also include different orientations of the device in use and operation. For example, if the device in the figure is flipped, the element or feature described as “below,” “under,” or “below” will be oriented “above” the other element or feature. Therefore, the exemplary terms “below” and “under” can include both above and below orientations. Furthermore, the device may also include other orientations (e.g., rotated 90 degrees or other orientations), and the spatial descriptive terms used herein will be interpreted accordingly.
[0083] When used herein, the singular forms of “a,” “an,” and “the” may also include the plural forms unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It should also be understood that when the terms “comprise” and / or “comprising” are used in this specification, the presence of the stated feature, integer, step, operation, element, and / or part is established, but the presence or addition of one or more other features, integers, steps, operations, elements, parts, and / or groups is not excluded. Meanwhile, when used herein, the term “and / or” includes any and all combinations of the associated listed items.
[0084] Embodiments of the invention are described herein with reference to cross-sectional views illustrating ideal embodiments (and intermediate structures) of the invention, thus allowing for variations in the illustrated shape due to, for example, manufacturing techniques and / or tolerances. Therefore, embodiments of the invention should not be limited to the specific shapes of the regions shown herein, but rather include shape deviations due to, for example, manufacturing techniques. For instance, implantation regions shown as rectangular typically have rounded or curved features at their edges and / or implantation concentration gradients, rather than a binary change from implantation regions to non-implantation regions. Similarly, the buried regions formed by implantation can result in some implantation in the region between the buried region and the surface traversed during implantation. Therefore, the regions shown in the figures are substantially schematic, and their shapes do not represent the actual shapes of regions of the device and do not limit the scope of the invention.
[0085] Please see Figure 1This disclosure provides a complementary ring-channel MOSFET, comprising a first MOSFET 10 and a second MOSFET 20. The first MOSFET 10 includes a gate structure 30 and a first surrounding structure 101. The first surrounding structure 101 includes a first channel layer 1011 of a first conductivity type, a first source layer 1012 of a second conductivity type, and a first drain layer 1013 of a second conductivity type.

The second drain layer 2013, the second source layer 2012, and the second channel layer 2011 all surround the outer surface of the gate structure 30 and are arranged adjacent to each other in sequence along the extending direction of the gate structure 30, and are spaced apart from the first surrounding structure 101.
[0086] The complementary ring-channel MOSFET disclosed herein, with a first and a second surrounding structure encircling the outer surface of the gate structure, greatly improves circuit density and significantly saves chip area in subsequent processes. Simultaneously, the fabrication process is simple, production costs are low, and there is no floating body effect, facilitating mass production. Furthermore, the first channel layer of the first conductivity type in the first surrounding structure and the second channel layer of the second conductivity type in the second surrounding structure are electrically complementary, effectively improving the structure's performance.
[0087] It should be noted that the first conductivity type includes N-type and the second conductivity type includes P-type; or the first conductivity type includes p-type and the second conductivity type includes N-type; specifically, in one example, the first conductivity type is P-type and the second conductivity type is N-type. In another example, the first conductivity type is N-type and the second conductivity type is P-type; more specifically, in this embodiment, the first conductivity type is N-type and the second conductivity type is P-type.
[0088] As an example, the first MOS transistor 10 may include, but is not limited to, a PMOS transistor or an NMOS transistor; the second MOS transistor 20 may include, but is not limited to, an NMOS transistor or a PMOS transistor; specifically, in this embodiment, the first MOS transistor 10 is a PMOS transistor and the second MOS transistor 20 is an NMOS transistor.
[0089] As an example, the first channel layer 1011 of the first conductivity type may include, but is not limited to, an N-type channel layer or a P-type channel layer. The channel layer material includes, but is not limited to, silicon, silicon-germanium, and metal oxide materials such as IGZO. Specifically, in this embodiment, the first channel layer 1011 is an N-type channel layer. The first channel layer 1011 may include, but is not limited to, a semiconductor layer. For example, the first channel layer 1011 may be at least one of a silicon layer or a germanium-silicon layer. The thickness of the first channel layer 1011 may include, but is not limited to, less than 20 nm. For example, the thickness of the first channel layer 1011 may be 2 nm, 4 nm, 6 nm, 8 nm, 10 nm, 12 nm, 14 nm, 16 nm, or 18 nm.
[0090] As an example, the first source layer 1012 of the second conductivity type may include, but is not limited to, a P-type source layer or an N-type source layer. Specifically, in this embodiment, the first source layer 1012 is a P-type source layer, and the first source layer 1012 may include, but is not limited to, a single-crystal silicon layer; the first drain layer 1013 of the second conductivity type may include, but is not limited to, a P-type drain layer; the first drain layer 1013 may include, but is not limited to, a single-crystal silicon layer.

The channel layer material includes, but is not limited to, silicon, silicon-germanium, and metal oxide materials such as IGZO. Specifically, in this embodiment, the second channel layer 2011 is a P-type channel layer. The second channel layer 2011 may include, but is not limited to, a semiconductor layer. For example, the second channel layer 2011 may be at least one of a silicon layer or a germanium-silicon layer.

For example, the thickness of the second channel layer 2011 may be 2 nm, 4 nm, 6 nm, 8 nm, 10 nm, 12 nm, 14 nm, 16 nm, or 18 nm.
[0092] It should be noted that when the thickness of the first channel layer 1011 and the thickness of the second channel layer 2011 are controlled to be less than 20 nm, leakage current generated by the structure can be suppressed. Taking the thickness of the first channel layer 1011 as an example, for instance... Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, Figure 2 This shows the variation of the total drain current with the back gate voltage for different thicknesses of the first channel layer 1011. Figure 3The leakage mode when the thickness of the first channel layer 1011 is 22.5nm is as follows: there are gate-induced drain leakage current (GIDL) and drain-induced barrier lowering (DIBL) phenomena, and the channel can penetrate to a distance. Figure 4 The leakage current mode when the thickness of the first channel layer 1011 is 10nm is only GIDL phenomenon, which greatly reduces leakage current.
[0093] As an example, the second source layer 2012 of the first conductivity type may include, but is not limited to, an N-type source layer or a P-type source layer.
