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 8):
The method of  claim 7 , further comprising:\n conformally forming a first etch stop layer over the epitaxial region, wherein a first portion of the first etch stop layer extends over the upper surface and a second portion of the first etch stop layer extends over the lower surface; and forming a second etch stop layer over the first portion of the first etch stop layer, wherein the second portion of the first etch stop layer is free of the second etch stop layer.
