Abstract:
A fin structure is on a substrate. The fin structure includes an epitaxial region having an upper surface and an under-surface. A contact structure on the epitaxial region includes an upper contact portion and a lower contact portion. The upper contact portion includes a metal layer over the upper surface and a barrier layer over the metal layer. The lower contact portion includes a metal-insulator-semiconductor (MIS) contact along the under-surface. The MIS contact includes a dielectric layer on the under-surface and the barrier layer on the dielectric layer.

Claim (Index 5):
The method of  claim 1 , wherein forming the first contacts and forming the second contacts comprises forming a second metal layer over the under-surfaces of the epitaxial regions and over the upper surfaces of the epitaxial regions.
