Abstract: A method of forming a semiconductor transistor device. The method comprises forming a fin-shaped channel structure over a substrate and forming a first source/drain epitaxial structure and a second source/drain epitaxial structure on opposite endings of the fin structure. The method further comprises forming a metal gate structure surrounding the fin structure. The method further comprises flipping and partially removing the substrate to form a back-side capping trench while leaving a lower portion of the substrate along upper sidewalls of the first source/drain epitaxial structure and the second source/drain epitaxial structure as a protective spacer. The method further comprises forming a back-side dielectric cap in the back-side capping trench.

Abstract: A method includes providing a structure having a substrate, a fin, source/drain (S/D) features, an isolation structure adjacent to sidewalls of the fin, one or more channel layers over a first dielectric layer and connecting the S/D features, and a gate structure engaging the one or more channel layers. The method further includes thinning down the structure from its backside until the fin is exposed and selectively etching the fin to form a trench that exposes surfaces of the S/D features, the first dielectric layer, and the isolation structure. The method further includes forming a silicide feature on the S/D features and depositing an inhibitor on the silicide feature but not on the surface of the first dielectric layer and the isolation structure, depositing a dielectric liner layer on the surfaces of the isolation structure and the first dielectric layer but not on the inhibitor, and selectively removing the inhibitor.

Abstract: In some embodiments, the present disclosure relates to an integrated chip that includes a substrate, a first contact layer, and a gate electrode. The first contact layer overlies the substrate and the gate electrode overlies the substrate and is laterally spaced from the first contact layer. A first spacer structure surrounds outermost sidewalls of the first contact layer and separates the gate electrode from the first contact layer. A first hard mask structure is arranged over the first contact layer and is between portions of the first spacer structure. A first contact via extends through the first hard mask structure and contacts the first contact layer. A first liner layer is arranged directly between the first hard mask structure and the first spacer structure.
