Abstract:
A transistor, an integrated circuit and a method of fabricating the integrated circuit are provided. In various embodiments, the transistor includes a source electrode, at least one semiconductor channel, a gate electrode, a drain electrode, and a drain pad. The source electrode is disposed in a substrate. The semiconductor channel extends substantially perpendicular to the source electrode. The gate electrode surrounds the semiconductor channel. The drain electrode is disposed on top of the semiconductor channel. The drain pad is disposed on the drain electrode, wherein the drain pad comprises multiple conductive layers.
Abstract:
A method includes forming a transistor over a substrate, wherein the transistor includes a source, a drain over the source, a semiconductor channel between the source and the drain, and a gate surrounding the semiconductor channel. A silicide layer is formed over the drain of the transistor. A capping layer is formed over the silicide layer. Portions of the capping layer and the silicide layer are removed to define a drain pad over the drain of the transistor.
