Abstract:
According to an embodiment of the present invention, a method for forming a contact for a transistor includes forming a first doped region over a semiconductor substrate. A first fin is formed over the first doped region. A gate is formed alongside portions of the first fin. A void is created by removing the first fin to expose a portion of the first doped region. A metal is deposited in the void to create the contact.

Claim (Index 9):
A method for forming a semiconductor device, the method comprising:\n forming a first doped layer region on a substrate; forming a source or a drain (S/D) in the first doped layer region; forming a plurality of vertical fins on the first doped layer region in which one of the plurality of vertical fins is a dummy fin; forming a gate around at least a portion of each of the plurality of vertical fins; growing an epitaxial layer on each of the plurality of vertical fins; selectively removing the dummy fin and the epitaxial layer grown on the dummy fin to form a void, wherein the void contacts the first doped layer region; and forming a bottom contact in the void, wherein the bottom contact operably couples the gate to the S/D.
