Patent attributes
A semiconductor device includes a first raised feature in a NFET region on a substrate, a first n-type doped epitaxial semiconductor material grown on the first raised feature, the first n-type doped epitaxial material having a first upward facing surface and a first downward facing surface, a first contact metal on the first downward facing surface, and a second contact metal on the first upward facing surface. The device further includes a second raised feature in a PFET region on the substrate, a second p-type doped epitaxial semiconductor material grown on the second raised feature, the second p-type doped epitaxial material having a second upward facing surface and a second downward facing surface, a third contact metal on the second downward facing surface, and a fourth contact metal on the second upward facing surface, wherein the fourth contact metal is different from the second contact metal.
