Abstract:
A semiconductor device and method of forming the same is disclosed. The semiconductor device includes a substrate, two semiconductor fins over the substrate, and a semiconductor feature over the two semiconductor fins. The semiconductor feature comprises two lower portions and one upper portion. The two lower portions are directly over the two semiconductor fins respectively. The upper portion is over the two lower portions. A bottom surface of the upper portion has an arc-like cross-sectional shape.

Claim (Index 12):
A semiconductor device, comprising:\n a substrate; two semiconductor fins over the substrate; a semiconductor feature over the two semiconductor fins, wherein:\n the semiconductor feature includes two lower portions and one upper portion, \n the two lower portions are over the two semiconductor fins respectively, \n the upper portion is over the two lower portions and physically connects the two lower portions, and \n a bottom surface of the upper portion has an arc-like shape in a plane perpendicular to a fin length direction; and \n a dielectric layer over the substrate, wherein the two lower portions of the semiconductor feature are surrounded at least partially by the dielectric layer.
