Abstract
A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device includes forming a fin on a semiconductor substrate, and forming a bottom source/drain region adjacent a base of the fin. In the method, a dielectric layer, a work function metal layer and a first gate metal layer are sequentially deposited on the bottom source/drain region and around the fin. The dielectric layer, the work function metal layer and the first gate metal layer form a gate structure. The method also includes removing the dielectric layer, the work function metal layer and the first gate metal layer from an end portion of the fin, and depositing a second gate metal layer around the end portion of the fin in place of the removed dielectric layer, the removed work function metal layer and the removed first gate metal layer. The second gate metal layer contacts the end portion of the fin.
