Patent ID: 11948844
Assignee: SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS CO., LTD.
Field: Semiconductors (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H  B | IPC H

Claim 11:
12. A semiconductor device, comprising:
a device isolation layer between a first active region and a second active region of a substrate;
a first active fin on the first active region;
a second active fin on the second active region;
a first electrode pattern on the first active fin and the second active fin; and
a second electrode pattern between the first electrode pattern and the second active fin,
wherein the second electrode pattern extends on the device isolation layer and has an end adjacent to the first active region of the substrate,
wherein a distance between a top of the first electrode pattern from a bottom of the first electrode pattern on the device isolation layer adjacent to the first active region of the substrate is a first distance,
wherein a distance between a top of the first electrode pattern from a bottom of the first electrode pattern on the device isolation layer adjacent to the second active region of the substrate is a second distance, and
wherein the first distance is greater than the second distance,
wherein a top surface of the second electrode pattern extends further in a direction away from the second active fin than a bottom surface of the second electrode pattern, and the end of the second electrode pattern adjacent to the first active region of the substrate has a continuous slope.
