Abstract:
A nano-sheet semiconductor structure and a method for fabricating the same. The nano-sheet structure includes a substrate and at least one alternating stack of semiconductor material layers and metal gate material layers. The nano-sheet semiconductor structure further comprises a source region and a drain region. A first plurality of epitaxially grown interconnects contacts the source region and the semiconductor layers in the alternating stack. A second plurality of epitaxially grown interconnects contacts the drain region and the semiconductor layers in the alternating stack. The method includes removing a portion of alternating semiconductor layers and metal gate material layers. A first plurality of interconnects is epitaxially grown between and in contact with the semiconductor layers and the source region. A second plurality of interconnects is epitaxially grown between and in contact with the semiconductor layers and the drain region.

Claim (Index 20):
A method for forming a semiconductor structure, the method comprising:\n forming a structure comprising at least\n a plurality of alternating stacks each comprising semiconductor layers and metal gate material layers formed on a substrate, and a plurality of doped regions each in contact with at least one alternating stack of the plurality of stacks; \n removing a portion of each alternating stack of the plurality of stacks in contact with at least one doped region of the plurality of doped regions, the removing forming a plurality of trenches; and epitaxially growing a plurality of interconnects within the trenches, wherein each interconnect of the plurality of interconnects is between and in contact with one of the semiconductor layers and one doped region of the plurality of doped regions.
