Transistors Having V-shape Source/Drain Metal Contacts

摘要

A semiconductor structure and a method for forming the same. The semiconductor structure includes (a) a semiconductor layer, (b) a gate dielectric region, and (c) a gate electrode region. The gate electrode region is electrically insulated from the semiconductor layer. The semiconductor layer comprises a channel region, a first and a second source/drain regions. The channel region is disposed between the first and second source/drain regions and directly beneath and electrically insulated from the gate electrode region. The semiconductor structure further includes (d) a first and a second electrically conducting regions, and (e) a first and a second contact regions. The first electrically conducting region and the first source/drain region are in direct physical contact with each other at a first and a second common surfaces. The first and second common surfaces are not coplanar. The first contact region overlaps both the first and second common surfaces.
