Abstract

Integrated circuit array having field effect transistors (FETs) formed next to and/or above one another. The array has a substrate, a planarized first wiring plane with interconnects and first source/drain regions of the FETs, a planarized first insulator layer on the first wiring plane, a planarized gate region layer, which has patterned gate regions made of electrically conductive material and insulator material introduced therebetween, on the first insulated layer, a planarized second insulator layer on the gate region layer, holes formed through the second insulator layer, the gate regions, and the first insulator layer, a vertical nanoelement serving as a channel region in each of the holes, a second wiring plane with interconnects and second source/drain regions of the FETs, each nanoelement being arranged between the first and second wiring planes, and a gate insulating layer between the respective vertical nanoelement and the electrically conductive material of the gate regions.
