Abstract:
1. A semiconductor structure comprising: a contiguous semiconductor portion located on an insulator layer, said contiguous semiconductor portion including: a gate structure straddling each semiconductor fin of said plurality of semiconductor fins, wherein said gate structure comprising a gate dielectric and a gate electrode, said gate dielectric is present on sidewall surfaces of said gate electrode and beneath a bottommost surface of said gate electrode and has an uppermost surface that is coplanar with an uppermost surface of said gate electrode; a gate spacer in contact with said source junctions and with said drain junctions; a source-side metal semiconductor alloy portion in contact with said first pad portion, a vertical sidewall of said source junctions, and said gate spacer; and a drain-side metal semiconductor alloy portion in contact with said second pad portion, a vertical sidewall of said drain junctions, and said gate spacer.
