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 19):
A semiconductor device, comprising:\n a fin structure protruding from a substrate, and having first and second side faces and a second side face connecting the first and second side faces; a first channel region made of a semiconductor material different from the fin structure protruding from at least one of the first side surface or the second side surface; a second channel region made of a semiconductor material different from the fin structure extending from the top surface; and a gate electrode covering the first and second channel regions, and an upper portion of the fin structure between the first and second channel regions, wherein: the gate electrode is spaced-apart from the first and second channel regions by a first insulating layer, and is spaced-apart from the upper portion of the fin structure by a second insulating layer, and a thickness of the first insulating layer is less than a thickness of the second insulating layer.
