Patent ID: 7352037

Claim:
A semiconductor device comprising: a semiconductor substrate including a body and at least one pair of fins spaced from each other and protruding from the body; at least one source and at least one drain formed in each fin of the at least one pair of fins, within each fin, the at least one source being spaced apart from a corresponding drain along the direction in which the pair of fins extends; a channel region formed at least near the surfaces of an inner side of each fin, each channel region connecting a corresponding one of the at least one sources to a corresponding one of the at least one drains; a gate electrode including a first portion arranged between the channel regions formed at least near the inner sides of each fin, and being insulated from the semiconductor substrate; at least one source contact plug insulated from the body and electrically connected to the at least one sources on each fin concurrently; and at least one drain contact plug insulated from the body and electrically connected to the at least one drains on each fin concurrently.
