    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a high-density mounted array of a vertical semiconductor device and a method of forming the array. SOLUTION: This array has the column of bit lines 220 and the row of word lines 225. The gates of transistors function as the word lines and source regions 215 or drain regions 240 function as the bit lines. Arrays are formed between the source and drain regions, and have also vertical pillars 230 which function as channels. The source regions 215 are formed in a self-alignment system and are positioned under the pillars. The regions 215 under the adjacent bit lines are separated from each other without increasing a cell size and the smallest area of cells can be maintained. As the source regions are separated from each other, even if the cells are formed into either of a volatile memory cell constitution and a nonvolatile memory cell constitution, the individual cells are addressed by directly tunneling and can be written.
