Abstract:
A semiconductor device includes a substrate, an active fin protruding from the substrate, and an asymmetric diamond-shaped source/drain disposed on an upper surface of the active fin. The source/drain includes a first crystal growth portion and a second crystal growth portion sharing a plane with the first crystal growth portion and having a lower surface disposed at a lower level than a lower surface of the first crystal growth portion.

Claim (Index 16):
A semiconductor device, comprising:\n a substrate; an active block that protrudes from the substrate; a plurality of active fins that protrudes from the active block; and a merged source/drain that contacts the plurality of active fins, wherein the merged source/drain comprises main crystal growth portions, additional crystal growth portions and a merged crystal growth portion, wherein the main crystal growth portions and the merged crystal growth portion are disposed between the additional crystal growth portions, wherein the merged crystal growth portion is formed to merge adjacent edges of the main crystal growth portions, and wherein lower end portions of the additional crystal growth portions are at a lower level than lower end portions of the merged crystal growth portions.
