The present invention features double- or dual-gate logic devices that contain
gate conductors that are consistently self-aligned and that have channels that
are of constant width. A single-crystal silicon wafer is utilized as the channel
material. Pillars or stacks of self aligned dual gate MOSFETs are generated by
etching, via the juxtaposition of overlapping germanium-containing gate conductor
regions. Vertically etching through regions of both gate conducting material and
dielectric insulating material provides an essentially perfect, self-aligned dual
gate stack.
