Abstract:
Semiconductor devices are providing including a first isolation region configured to define a first fin active region protruding from a substrate, first gate patterns on the first fin active region, and a first epitaxial region in the first fin active region between the first gate patterns. Sidewalls of the first epitaxial region have first inflection points so that an upper width of the first epitaxial region is greater than a lower width of the first epitaxial region.

Claim (Index 10):
A method of forming a semiconductor device, comprising:\n providing a substrate having a first region and a second region; forming sacrificial patterns on the substrate of the first region and the second region; forming an ion implanted region in the substrate between the sacrificial patterns at the second region; forming a first recess region by etching a portion of the substrate between the sacrificial patterns at the first region; forming a second recess region by etching another portion of the substrate and the ion implanted region at the second region; forming a first source/drain epitaxial layer in the first recess region; and forming a second source/drain epitaxial layer in the second recess region.
