Abstract

See full text

Systems and methods for forming a low contact resistance nanowire transistor are described. The transistor includes a gate formed over a substrate including a gate conductor. Gate spacers are formed on sides of the gate. At least one semiconductor nanowire is formed through the gate such that the at least one semiconductor nanowire extends through the gate conductor and the gate spacers and into source and drain regions grown from surfaces of the at least one semiconductor nanowire adjacent to sides of the gate to increase the surface area of the source drain region contacting the semiconductor nanowire.
