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 11):
A semiconductor device, comprising:\n a substrate; active fins on the substrate; and a merged source/drain that contacts the active fins, wherein the merged source/drain comprises first crystal growth portions that contact upper surfaces of the active fins, second crystal growth portions that share at least one plane with the first crystal growth portions and that contact side surfaces of the at least two of the active fins, and a third crystal growth portion formed to merge adjacent edges of the first crystal growth portions.
