Reducing gate resistance in stacked vertical transport field effect transistors

Abstract:

A semiconductor device structure and method for fabricating the same. The semiconductor device structure includes a first vertical transport field effect transistor (VTFET) comprising at least a first gate structure having a first gate length, and a second VTFET stacked on the first VTFET and comprising at least a second gate structure having a second gate length that is less than the first gate length. The method includes forming, on a substrate, a first VTFET including at least a first gate structure having a first gate length. The method further includes forming a second VTFET stacked on the first VTFET and including at least a second gate structure having a second gate length that is less than the first gate length.
