Abstract:
A FinFET that includes a semiconductor substrate that has insulating areas, a fin structure, a gate dielectric layer, a gate electrode structure, a drain structure and a source structure is provided. The fin structure is disposed to extend on the semiconductor substrate between two insulating areas. The gate dielectric layer is disposed to extend across two sides of the fin structure. The gate electrode structure is disposed on the gate dielectric layer. The drain structure is disposed at a first side of the gate electrode structure and has a first resistance relative to the gate electrode. The source structure is disposed at a second side of the gate electrode structure and has a second resistance relative to the gate electrode. The first resistance is larger than the second resistance.

Claim (Index 1):
A FinFET manufacturing method comprising:\n providing a transistor precursor that comprises:\n a semiconductor substrate comprising a plurality of insulating areas; \n a fin structure disposed to extend on the semiconductor substrate between two of the insulating areas; \n a gate dielectric layer disposed to extend across two sides of the fin structure; and \n a gate electrode structure disposed on the gate dielectric layer; \n performing etching on a first position and a second position of the fin structure, wherein the first position is at a first side of the fin structure relative to the gate electrode structure and the second position is at a second side of the fin structure relative to the gate electrode structure; and forming a drain structure at the first position and forming a source structure at the second position, wherein the drain structure has a first resistance relative to the gate electrode and the source structure has a second resistance relative to the gate electrode, and the first resistance is larger than the second resistance.
