Patent ID: 11908860
Assignee: TAIWAN SEMICONDUCTOR MANUFACTURING COMPANY LTD.
Field: Semiconductors (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 11:
12. An integrated chip (IC) comprising:
a first semiconductor fin protruding from a portion of a semiconductor substrate;
a second semiconductor fin protruding from the portion of the semiconductor substrate, wherein the second semiconductor fin is laterally spaced from the first semiconductor fin in a first direction;
a gate structure disposed over the portion of the semiconductor substrate and the first semiconductor fin, wherein the gate structure extends laterally over the semiconductor substrate and the first semiconductor fin in a second direction that is transverse the first direction; and
an epitaxial pick-up structure disposed on the second semiconductor fin, wherein the epitaxial pick-up structure continuously extends from a first outermost sidewall of the second semiconductor fin to a second outermost sidewall of the second semiconductor fin, and wherein the second outermost sidewall is laterally spaced from the first outermost sidewall in the first direction.
