Abstract
A method is presented for reducing parasitic capacitance. The method includes forming a p-type epitaxial region and an n-type epitaxial region over a substrate, depositing an epitaxial growth over the p-type epitaxial region and the n-type epitaxial region, depositing a first dielectric between the p-type epitaxial region and the n-type epitaxial region such that an airgap is defined therebetween, and selectively removing the epitaxial growth to expose top surfaces of the p-type and n-type epitaxial regions. The method further includes depositing a second dielectric in direct contact with the exposed top surfaces of the p-type and n-type epitaxial regions, selectively etching the first and second dielectrics to form a strapped contact, and applying a metallization layer over the strapped contact.
