Abstract
The present disclosure describes a semiconductor device that includes a transistor. The transistor includes a source/drain region that includes a front surface and a back surface opposite to the front surface. The transistor includes a salicide region on the back surface and a channel region in contact with the source/drain region. The channel region has a front surface co-planar with the front surface of the source/drain region. The transistor further includes a gate structure disposed on a front surface of the channel region. The semiconductor device also includes a backside contact structure that includes a conductive contact in contact with the salicide region and a liner layer surrounding the conductive contact.
