Method for fabricating vertical thin film transistor

Abstract

A method for fabricating a vertical thin film transistor capable of improving a current driving capability. The method includes the steps of sequentially forming a source electrode and a high concentration n type doped, first semiconductor layer over a substrate, selectively removing the source electrode and the first semiconductor layer at their portions at which a gate electrode is to be formed, sequentially depositing an insulating film and a metal layer for the gate electrode over the entire exposed surface of the resulting structure and then selectively removing the insulating film and the metal layer to form the gale electrode, anodizing an exposed surface of the gate electrode to form a gate insulating film, depositing an intrinsic, second semiconductor layer over the entire exposed surface of the resulting structure and depositing a high concentration n type doped, third semiconductor layer over the second semiconductor layer, and forming a drain electrode over the third semiconductor layer.
