Abstract
A semiconductor device includes a source/drain having a height, a length, and a width. A full wrap-around contact surrounds a partial length of the source/drain, wherein the full wrap-around contact includes a partial front-side wrap-around contact from a front side of a substrate and a partial back-side wrap-around contact from a back side of the substrate.
Claims20
A semiconductor device, comprising:
- a source/drain having a height, a length, and a width;
- and
- a full wrap-around contact surrounding at least a partial length of the source/drain, wherein the full wrap-around contact includes a partial front-side wrap-around contact from a front side of a substrate and a partial back-side wrap-around contact from a back side of the substrate, wherein the partial back-side wrap-around contact is directly on a backside surface of the source/drain.
A backside power connection device, comprising:
- a back-end-of-line metallization layer on a carrier wafer;
- an interlevel dielectric layer on the back-end-of-line metallization layer;
- a source/drain contact in the interlevel dielectric layer, and in electrical contact with the back-end-of-line metallization layer;
- a source/drain electrically connected to the source/drain contact;
- a replacement metal gate structure electrically separated from the source/drain;
- a metal-silicide layer on the source/drain;
- a backside interlevel dielectric layer;
- and
- a backside conductive contact extending through an opening in the backside interlevel dielectric layer, the opening exposing a backside of the source/drain, the backside conductive contact being on and in electrical contact with the source/drain and the metal-silicide layer.
