Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method for producing a semiconductor device includes depositing an oxide film containing an impurity having a first conductivity type on a substrate. A nitride film is deposited and a first oxide film is deposited that contains an impurity having a second conductivity type that differs from the first conductivity type. The first oxide film, the nitride film, and the second oxide film are etched to form a contact hole. An epitaxial growth process is carried out form a first pillar-shaped silicon layer in the contact hole. The nitride film is removed and epitaxial growth process is performed to form an output terminal.

1 . A method for producing a semiconductor device, the method comprising: depositing a first oxide film containing an impurity having a first conductivity type on a substrate; depositing a nitride film; depositing a second oxide film containing an impurity having a second conductivity type that differs from the first conductivity type; etching the first oxide film containing the impurity having a first conductivity type, the nitride film, and the second oxide film containing the impurity having the second conductivity type to form a contact hole; performing epitaxial growth in the contact hole to form a first pillar-shaped silicon layer; and removing the nitride film and performing epitaxial growth to form an output terminal. 2 . A method for producing a semiconductor device, the method comprising depositing a first oxide film containing an impurity having a first conductivity type on a substrate; depositing a nitride film; depositing a second oxide film containing an impurity having a second conductivity type that differs from the first conductivity type; etching the first oxide film containing the impurity having the first conductivity type, the nitride film, and the second oxide film containing the impurity having the second conductivity type to form a contact hole; performing epitaxial growth in the contact hole to form a first pillar-shaped silicon layer; removing the nitride film and performing epitaxial growth to form an output terminal; and performing a heat treatment after performing the epitaxial growth to form a second first-conductivity-type semiconductor layer and a first second- conductivity-type semiconductor layer in the first pillar-shaped silicon layer and the output terminal.
