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 4):
The method of  claim 3 , wherein the etching of the portion of the substrate and the ion implanted region comprises performing an isotropic etching process and performing an anisotropic etching process to remove the portion of the substrate and the ion implanted regions between the sacrificial patterns,\n wherein the recess region is formed to have an inflection point such that an upper width of the recess region is greater than a lower width of the recess region.
