US Patent 9041099 Single-sided access device and fabrication method thereof

The present invention provides a single-sided access device including an active fin structure comprising a source region and a drain region; an insulating layer interposed between the source region and the drain region; a trench isolation structure disposed at one side of the active fin structure; a single-sided sidewall gate electrode disposed on the other side of the active fin structure opposite to the trench isolation structure so that the active fin structure is sandwiched by trench isolation structure and the single-sided sidewall gate electrode; and a gate protrusion laterally and electrically extended from the single-sided sidewall gate electrode and embedded between the source region and the drain region under the insulating layer.
