Transistor having stacked source/drain regions with formation assistance regions and multi-region wrap-around source/drain contacts

Abstract:

Embodiments of the invention are directed to a method of performing fabrication operations to form a transistor, wherein the fabrication operations include forming a source or drain (S/D) region having stacked, spaced-apart, and doped S/D layers. The fabrication operations further include forming a multi-region S/D contact structure configured to contact a top surface, a bottom surface, and sidewalls of each of the stacked, spaced-apart, and doped S/D layers.
