Abstract

A semiconductor device is provided. The semiconductor device includes a semiconductor fin over a substrate, and a gate structure along sidewalls and the top surface of the semiconductor fin. The gate structure covers the first portion of the semiconductor fin. The semiconductor device also includes a source/drain feature adjacent to the gate structure. The semiconductor device further includes a source/drain contact connected to the source/drain feature. The source/drain contact extends downwards to a position that is lower than the top surface of the first portion of the semiconductor fin.
