One embodiment provides a method of integrating a planar field-effect transistor (FET) with a vertical FET. The method comprises masking and etching a semiconductor of the vertical FET to form a fin, and providing additional masking, additional etching, doping and depositions to isolate a bottom source/drain (S/D) region. A dielectric is formed on the bottom S/D region to form a spacer. The method further comprises depositing gate metals, etching a vertical gate for the vertical FET and a planar gate for the planar FET using a shared gate mask, depositing dielectric, etching the dielectric to expose one or more portions of the fin, growing epitaxy on a top S/D region, masking and etching S/D contact openings for the bottom S/D region, forming silicide regions in S/D regions, depositing contact metal in the silicide regions to form contacts, and planarizing the contacts. |
