Abstract:
Embodiments are directed to a method and resulting structures for a vertical field effect transistor (VFET) having an embedded bottom metal contact. A semiconductor fin is formed on a doped region of a substrate. A portion of the doped region adjacent to the semiconductor fin is recessed and an embedded contact is formed on the recessed portion. A material of the conductive rail is selected such that a conductivity of the embedded contact is higher than a conductivity of the doped region.

Claim (Index 9):
The semiconductor device of  claim 1 , wherein the embedded contact comprises a metal.
