Abstract:
Semiconductor devices and methods of forming the semiconductor devices are provided. The methods may include forming a fin, forming a first device isolating layer on a side of the fin, forming a second device isolating layer extending through the first device isolating layer, forming first and second gates traversing the fin and forming a third device isolating layer between the first and second gates. The first device isolating layer may include a first material and a lowermost surface at a first depth. The second device isolating layer may include a second material and a lowermost surface at a second depth greater than the first depth. The third device isolating layer may extend into the fin, may include a lowermost surface at a third depth less than the first depth and a third material different from the first and the second materials.

Claim (Index 10):
A semiconductor device comprising:\n a first trench of a first depth defining a fin; a second trench overlapping with the first trench in plan view and having a second depth that is greater than the first depth; a first metal gate and a second metal gate on the fin, the first metal gate and the second metal gate traversing the fin and being adjacent each other; source/drain regions in the fin and on respective sides of the first metal gate and the second metal gate; a third trench in the fin and between the first metal gate and the second metal gate, the third trench having a third depth that is greater than a depth of the source/drain regions and less than the first depth; and a first device isolating layer, a second device isolating layer and a third device isolating layer in the first trench, the second trench and the third trench, respectively, wherein an upper portion of the second device isolating layer is in direct contact with the first device isolating layer.
