Abstract

A method includes forming a first multilayer interconnection structure over a carrier substrate. A first interlayer dielectric (ILD) layer is deposited over the first multilayer interconnection structure. A first source/drain contact is formed in the first ILD layer. After forming the first source/drain contact, a semiconductive layer is formed over the first source/drain contact and the first ILD layer. The semiconductive layer is patterned to form a semiconductor fin over the first source/drain contact. A gate structure is formed across the semiconductor fin. The semiconductor fin is patterned to form a first recess and a second recess in the semiconductor fin, such that the first recess exposes the first source/drain contact. First and second source/drain epitaxial structures are respectively formed in the first and second recesses of the semiconductor fin such that the first source/drain epitaxial structure is electrically connected to the first source/drain contact.

Claims (46)

1. A method comprising:

forming a first multilayer interconnection structure over a carrier substrate;

depositing a substrate over the first multilayer interconnection structure;

forming a first source/drain contact in the substrate and electrically connected to the first multilayer interconnection structure;

patterning the substrate to form a semiconductive fin such that the first source/drain contact is embedded in the semiconductive fin;

forming a gate structure over the semiconductive fin;

patterning the semiconductive fin to form a recess in the semiconductive fin such that the recess exposes a top surface of the first source/drain contact; and

forming a source/drain epitaxial structure in the recess and in contact with the first source/drain contact.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising forming a semiconductive stacked structure over the substrate after forming the first source/drain contact and prior to pattering the substrate.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein forming the semiconductive stacked structure comprises:

forming a first semiconductive layer over the substrate and in contact with the first source/drain contact; and

forming a second semiconductive layer over the first semiconductive layer, wherein the first and second semiconductive layers comprise different materials.

4. The method of claim 3 , further comprising pattering the semiconductive stacked structure to form a fin structure covering the first source/drain contact.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising forming an isolation structure surrounding the semiconductive fin, such that a top surface of the isolation structure is lower than a top surface of the first source/drain contact.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising forming a second multilayer interconnection structure over the gate structure and the source/drain epitaxial structure.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein forming the second multilayer interconnection structure is such that both a metal line of the second multilayer interconnection structure and a metal line of the first multilayer interconnection structure taper downward.

8. A method comprising:

forming a first interlayer dielectric (ILD) layer over a first multilayer interconnection structure on a carrier substrate;

forming a substrate over the first ILD layer;

forming a first source/drain contact through the substrate and the first ILD layer to the first multilayer interconnection structure; and

after the first source/drain contact is formed, patterning the substrate to form a semiconductive fin, wherein the first source/drain contact is embedded in the semiconductive fin and the first ILD layer.

9. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:

forming a gate structure over the semiconductive fin.

10. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:

forming a first source/drain epitaxial structure in contact with a top surface and a sidewall of the first source/drain contact.

12. The method of claim 10 , further comprising:

forming a second source/drain contact over the first source/drain epitaxial structure.

13. The method of claim 10 , further comprising:

forming a second source/drain epitaxial structure in the semiconductive fin and spaced apart from the first source/drain epitaxial structure.

14. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:

forming an isolation structure surrounding the semiconductive fin, such that a top surface of the isolation structure is lower than a top surface of the first source/drain contact.

15. A method, comprising:

forming a first multilayer interconnection structure over a carrier substrate;

forming a substrate over the first multilayer interconnection structure

forming a first source/drain contact embedded in the substrate;

patterning the substrate to form semiconductive fins, wherein the first source/drain contact is embedded in one of the semiconductive fins; and

forming isolation structures between the semiconductive fins, wherein the first source/drain contact protrudes from the isolation structures.

16. The method of claim 15 , wherein a bottom surface of the first source/drain contact is lower than bottom surfaces of the semiconductive fins.

17. The method of claim 15 , further comprising:

forming a source/drain epitaxial structure in contact with top surface and sidewall of the first source/drain contact.

18. The method of claim 17 , further comprising:
