Abstract:
A semiconductor nanostructure and an epitaxial semiconductor material portion are formed on a front surface of a substrate, and a planarization dielectric layer is formed thereabove. Recess cavities are formed to expose a first active region and the epitaxial semiconductor material portion. A metallic cap structure is formed on the first active region, and a sacrificial metallic material portion is formed on the epitaxial semiconductor material portion. A connector via cavity is formed by anisotropically etching the sacrificial metallic material portion and an underlying portion of the epitaxial semiconductor material portion while the metallic cap structure is masked with a hard mask layer. A connector via structure is formed in the connector via cavity. Front-side metal interconnect structures are formed on the connector via structure and the metallic cap structure, and a backside via structure is formed through the substrate on the connector via structure.
