Abstract:
A mandrel is formed over an active region that includes a first region and a second region. The first region and the second region are reserved for the formation of a source and a drain of a FinFET, respectively. A portion of the mandrel formed over the second region is broken up into a first segment and a second segment separated from the first segment by a gap. Spacers are formed on opposite sides of the mandrel. Using the spacers, fins are defined. The fins protrude upwardly out of the active region. A portion of the second region corresponding to the gap has no fins formed thereover. The source is epitaxially grown on the fins in the first region. At least a portion of the drain is epitaxially grown on the portion of the second region having no fins.

Claim (Index 3):
The semiconductor device of  claim 1 , wherein:\n the source region includes a plurality of the fin structures and a plurality of the first epi-layers; and one or more air gaps are trapped by the plurality of the fin structures, the plurality of the first epi-layers, and the semi-conductive layer.
