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 16):
The method of  claim 15 , wherein each of the forming of the first recess region and the forming of the second recess region is performed by:\n performing an isotropic etching process; and performing an anisotropic etching process, wherein a sidewall profile of each of the first recess region and the second recess region has an inflection point.
