Abstract:
In a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device, first to third active fins are formed on a substrate. Each of the first to third active fins extends in a first direction, and the second active fin, the first active fin, and the third active fin are disposed in this order in a second direction crossing the first direction. The second active fin is removed using a first etching mask covering the first and third active fins. The third active fin is removed using a second etching mask covering the first active fin and a portion of the substrate from which the second active fin is removed. A first gate structure is formed on the first active fin. A first source/drain layer is formed on a portion of the first active fin adjacent the first gate structure.

Claim (Index 11):
The method of  claim 9 , wherein an upper surface of each of the active fins is covered by a mask, and\n wherein removing the surface includes performing an anisotropic process on the surface of the at least the portion of the lower portion of the second active fin not covered by the mask.
