Abstract:
A method for forming a semiconductor device. It includes forming fin structures on a substrate, where the fin structure defines source and drain regions. It also includes forming a gate stack in contact with the fin structure, depositing an insulator on the substrate, and applying an etching process to remove portions of the insulator to form a trench to the source region. It also includes implanting a damaged epitaxial material into the trench and to the source regions, and applying a second etching process to remove portions of the insulator to form a trench in the insulator to the drain regions. Finally, the method includes growing an epitaxial junction material over the source and drain regions, and depositing a metal over the substrate.

Claim (Index 1):
A semiconductor device comprising:\n a fin structures comprising a first material formed on a substrate; gate, source, and drain regions comprising a second material formed on the substrate; a contact insulator layer deposited over the substrate; wherein a first etching process applied to the substrate removes a first portion of the contact insulator to create a first trench in the contact insulator layer that extends to the source region; a damaged epitaxial material that is deposited into the trench that extends to the source region; an epitaxial junction material that is grown over the source and drain regions; and a metalizing contact material that is deposited over the substrate.
