Patent Classification: ["257", "384000"]

Abstract:
Various aspects of the disclosure include nanosheet-FET structures having a wrap-all-around contact where the contact wraps entirely around the S/D epitaxy structure, not just on the top and sides of the S/D epitaxy structure, thereby increasing contact area and ultimately allowing for improved S/D contact resistance. Other aspects of the disclosure include nanosheet-FET structures having a bottom isolation to reduce parasitic S/D leakage to the substrate.

Claim (Index 18):
The method of  claim 12 , further comprising,\n before the forming of the nanosheet stacks on the substrate:\n forming a first sacrificial silicon germanium (SiGe) layer on the substrate such that the first sacrificial SiGe layer is between the substrate and each nanosheet stack, each nanosheet stack comprising alternating sheets of silicon germanium (SiGe) and silicon (Si).
