Abstract
An exemplary method of forming a semiconductor device includes forming, in a substrate, an active region protruding vertically from a major surface of the substrate, the active region including a semiconductor source-drain (S/D) region and a first 3-D channel structure, the S/D region physically contacting the first 3-D channel structure, and forming an opening extending into the S/D region, the opening having a depth greater than half of a height of the first 3-D channel structure; and forming a metallic plug in the opening, the metallic plug making electrical contact with the S/D region.
