Abstract:
According to an embodiment of the present invention, a method for forming a contact for a transistor includes forming a first doped region over a semiconductor substrate. A second doped region is formed in portions of the first doped region in which portions the first doped region extends below the second doped region. A gate is formed alongside portions of a first fin. Portions of the second doped region and portions of the first doped region extending below the second doped region are removed. Portions of the gate are removed. A metal is deposited in the removed portion of the gate, the removed portion of second doped region, and the first doped region extending below the second doped region to create the contact.

Claim (Index 8):
A method for forming a semiconductor device, the method comprising:\n forming a first doped layer region on a substrate; forming a second doped region in portions of the first doped region, wherein portions the first doped region extends below the second doped region; forming a third doped layer region in the first doped region; forming a source or a drain (S/D) in the third doped layer region; forming a plurality of vertical fins on the first doped layer region and the third doped region; forming a gate around portions of each of the plurality of vertical fins; growing an epitaxial layer on each of the plurality of vertical fins; selectively removing portions of the second doped region and portions of the first doped region extending below the second doped region; and forming a bottom contact in the removed portion of second doped region and the first doped region extending below the second doped region, wherein the bottom contact operably couples the gate to the S/D.
