Abstract:
A fin-like field-effect transistor (FinFET) device is disclosed. The device includes a semiconductor substrate having a source/drain region, a plurality of isolation regions over the semiconductor substrate and a source/drain feature in the source/drain region. The source/drain feature includes a multiple plug-type portions over the substrate and each of plug-type portion is isolated each other by a respective isolation region. The source/drain feature also includes a single upper portion over the isolation regions. Here the single upper portion is merged from the multiple plug-type portions. The single upper portion has a flat top surface facing away from a top surface of the isolation region.

Claim (Index 20):
The device of  claim 19 , wherein the semiconductor material layer is formed of a different material than the single upper portion.
