FinFET device with a wrap-around silicide source/drain contact structure
Abstract:
One illustrative FinFET device disclosed herein includes a source/drain structure that, when viewed in a cross-section taken through the fin in a direction corresponding to the gate width (GW) direction of the device, comprises a perimeter and a bottom surface. The source/drain structure also has an axial length that extends in a direction corresponding to the gate length (GL) direction of the device. The device also includes a metal silicide material positioned on at least a portion of the perimeter of the source/drain structure for at least a portion of the axial length of the source/drain structure and on at least a portion of the bottom surface of the source/drain structure for at least a portion of the axial length of the source/drain structure.
