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 1):
A structure comprising:\n a fin structure on a substrate, the fin structure comprising an epitaxial region, the epitaxial region having an upper surface and an under-surface; a silicide region at the upper surface of the epitaxial region; a first contact over the epitaxial region, the first contact comprising a first metal layer directly contacting the silicide region; and a metal-insulator-semiconductor (MIS) contact on the under-surface of the epitaxial region.
