CONTACT RESISTANCE REDUCTION IN TRANSISTOR DEVICES WITH METALLIZATION ON BOTH SIDES

Abstract:

Embodiments disclosed herein include transistor devices and methods of making such devices. In an embodiment, the transistor device comprises a stack of semiconductor channels with a first source/drain region on a first end of the semiconductor channels and a second source/drain region on a second end of the semiconductor channels. In an embodiment, the first source/drain region and the second source/drain region have a top surface and a bottom surface. In an embodiment, the transistor device further comprises a first source/drain contact electrically coupled to the top surface of the first source/drain region, and a second source/drain contact electrically coupled to the bottom surface of the second source/drain region. In an embodiment, the second source/drain contact is separated from the second source/drain region by an interfacial layer.
