Abstract:
A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device includes forming a fin structure having a top face and a first side face and a second side face opposite to the first side face, forming a lower cover layer over the first and second side faces, forming an upper cover layer over the first and second side faces, the upper cover layer being spaced apart from the lower cover layer so that exposed regions of the first and second side faces are formed between the lower cover layer and the upper cover layer, and forming first and second semiconductor layers over the exposed regions of the first and second side faces, respectively.

Claim (Index 16):
A semiconductor device, comprising:\n fin structures, each of the fin structures protruding from a substrate and have first and second side faces and a top face connecting the first and second side faces, wherein: each of the fin structures includes first and second semiconductor layers protruding from the first and second side faces of the each of the fin structures, respectively, and a third semiconductor layer extending from the top surface of the each of the fin structures, the semiconductor device further comprises: a gate electrode covering the first to third semiconductor layers of the fin structures; and gate insulating layers, each of the gate insulating layers interposed between the gate electrode and the first to third semiconductor layers of a respective one of the fin structures.
