Abstract: Semiconductor devices and corresponding methods of manufacture are disclosed. The method includes forming vertical channel structures on a substrate. The vertical channel structures are formed within a layer stack of alternating layers of a first metal and a first dielectric. The vertical channel structures are channels of field effect transistors that have a current flow path perpendicular to a surface of the substrate. The vertical channel structures have a dielectric core. The method includes forming openings on the substrate that uncover a region of the layer stack adjacent to the vertical channel structures. The method includes, for each vertical channel structure, forming a corresponding staircase region in the layer stack, and forming metal contacts within each staircase region.
