Abstract:
A method of forming a semiconductor device includes forming a first semiconductor strip protruding above a first region of a substrate and a second semiconductor strip protruding above a second region of the substrate, forming an isolation region between the first semiconductor strip and the second semiconductor strip, forming a gate stack over and along sidewalls of the first semiconductor strip and the second semiconductor strip, etching a trench extending into the gate stack and isolation regions, the trench exposing the first region of the substrate and the second region of the substrate, forming a dielectric layer on sidewalls and a bottom surface of the trench and filling a conductive material over the dielectric layer and in the trench to form a contact, where the contact extends below a bottommost surface of the isolation region.
