Abstract:
A method for forming the semiconductor device that includes forming a gate opening to a channel region of a fin structure; and forming a dielectric layer on the fin structure, in which an upper portion of the fin structure is exposed. A metal is formed within the gate opening. The portions of the metal directly contacting the upper surface of fin structure provide a body contact. The combination of the metal within the gate opening to the channel region of the fin structure and the dielectric layer provide a functional gate structure to the semiconductor device.
