Abstract

Embodiments of the invention include first and second devices formed on a substrate. The first device includes a bottom source or drain (S/D) region, a plurality of fins formed on portions of the bottom S/D region, a bottom spacer formed on the bottom S/D region, a dielectric layer, a gate, a top S/D region formed on each fin of a plurality of fins, and one or more contacts. The dielectric layer is disposed between the gate and the fin of the plurality of fins. The second device includes a bottom doped region, a channel formed the bottom doped region, a sidewall doped region of the channel, a gate coupled to the sidewall doped region, a top doped region, and one or more contacts. A junction is formed between the channel and the sidewall doped region. The cap layer is formed on the gate and the top doped region.
