Self-aligned backside contact with increased contact area

Abstract

A first source drain region adjacent to a first transistor, a second source drain region adjacent to a second transistor, an upper source drain contact above the first source drain region, a bottom source drain contact below the second source drain region, the bottom and the upper source drain contacts are on opposite sides, a horizontal surface of the bottom source drain contact is adjacent to a horizontal surface of dielectric side spacers surrounding the second source drain region. An embodiment where a bottom source drain contact surrounds vertical sides of a source drain region. A method including forming a first and a second nanosheet stacks, forming a top source drain contact to a first source drain region adjacent to the first nanosheet stack, forming a bottom source drain contact to a lower horizontal surface of a second source drain region adjacent to the second nanosheet stack.
