Patent ID: 11955517
Assignee: SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS CO., LTD.
Field: Semiconductors (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H  B | IPC B  H

Claim 9:
10. A semiconductor device comprising:
a first channel active pattern protruding from a substrate and extending along a first direction;
a second channel active pattern protruding from the substrate and extending in the first direction, wherein the first and second channel active patterns are separated from one another in the first direction;
a field insulation layer disposed between the first channel active pattern and the second channel active pattern on the substrate;
a source/drain region between the first channel active pattern and the field insulation layer;
a first gate disposed on the first channel active pattern and extending along a second direction intersecting the first direction; and
a second gate disposed on a top surface of the field insulation layer and extending along the second direction,
wherein the top surface of the field insulation layer is higher than a lowermost part of the source/drain region,
wherein a bottom of the field insulation layer is lower than the lowermost part of the source/drain region,
wherein a bottom of the second gate is lower than an uppermost part of the source/drain region,
wherein the second gate vertically overlaps a portion of the first channel active pattern.
