Patent ID: 11923408
Assignee: TAIWAN SEMICONDUCTOR MANUFACTURING COMPANY LTD.
Field: Semiconductors (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 16:
17. A semiconductor structure, comprising:
one or more channel layers;
a gate structure engaging the one or more channel layers;
a first source/drain feature connected to a first side of the one or more channel layers and adjacent to the gate structure;
a second source/drain feature connected to a second side of the one or more channel layers and adjacent to the gate structure;
a first dielectric cap disposed over the first source/drain feature and isolating the first source/drain feature from conductors directly above the first source/drain feature, wherein the first dielectric cap is not disposed over the gate structure;
one or more conductors directly above the second source/drain feature and electrically connected to the second source/drain feature; and
a backside via disposed directly below the first source/drain feature and electrically connected to the first source/drain feature.
