Abstract

See full text

A method of forming a semiconductor structure is provided. The method including forming a first vertical channel on a first layer of source/drain material that is perpendicular relative to the first vertical channel, and forming a first source/drain semiconductor structure by removing one or more portions of the first layer of source/drain material such that i) the first source/drain semiconductor structure has a vertical side that is substantially planar with a vertical side of the first vertical channel and ii) a width of the source/drain is greater than a width of the first vertical channel, wherein the first source/drain semiconductor structure extends perpendicularly from its vertical side farther than the first vertical channel extends perpendicularly from its vertical side.
