Application: Transistor devices with double-side contacts (Patent ID: US20240105797A1)
Qualcomm Inc. has filed a patent for an apparatus including a transistor with a drain enclosed in a drain silicide layer, a source enclosed in a source silicide layer, and a gate between them. The drain and source are connected to contacts via drain and source vias, with the source via directly contacting the second source contact and the drain via directly contacting the second drain contact. The silicide layers have a uniform thickness, and the drain and source vias are approximately 5 nm to 40 nm thick.
The method for fabricating the apparatus involves forming the drain and source enclosed in silicide layers, with drain and source vias connecting them to contacts. The vias are embedded in the silicide layers and have a thickness of 5 nm to 40 nm. The method includes creating frontside and backside metallization structures for the contacts, with the source via directly contacting the second source contact. The resulting transistor can be a FinFET or Gate-All-Around (GAA) device and can be used in various electronic devices such as mobile phones, tablets, servers, and automotive vehicles.
