Abstract:
A method for fabricating a finfet with a buried local interconnect and the resulting device are disclosed. Embodiments include forming a silicon fin on a BOX layer, forming a gate electrode perpendicular to the silicon fin over a portion of the silicon fin, forming a spacer on each of opposite sides of the gate electrode, forming source/drain regions on the silicon fin at opposite sides of the gate electrode, recessing the BOX layer, undercutting the silicon fin and source/drain regions, at opposite sides of the gate electrode, and forming a local interconnect on a recessed portion of the BOX layer.
