Abstract

A semiconductor device having multiple lateral channels with contacts on opposing surfaces thereof and a method of forming the same. In one embodiment, the semiconductor device includes a conductive substrate having a first contact covering a substantial portion of a bottom surface thereof. The semiconductor device also includes a first lateral channel above the conductive substrate and a second lateral channel above the first lateral channel. The semiconductor device further includes a second contact above the second lateral channel. The semiconductor device still further includes an interconnect that connects the first and second lateral channels to the conductive substrate operable to provide a low resistance coupling between the first contact and the first and second lateral channels.
