Abstract:
A semiconductor device includes semiconductor fins on semiconductor strips on a substrate. The semiconductor fins are parallel to each other. A gate stack is over the semiconductor fins, and a drain epitaxy semiconductor region is disposed laterally from a side of the gate stack and on the semiconductor strips. A first dielectric layer is over the substrate, and the first dielectric layer has a first metal layer. A second dielectric layer is over the first dielectric layer, and the second dielectric layer has a second metal layer. Vias extend from the second metal layer and through the first dielectric layer, and the vias are electrically coupled to the drain epitaxy semiconductor region.

Claim (Index 11):
A semiconductor device comprising:\n a first fin-field effect transistor (FinFET) comprising:\n a first gate structure over first fins; and \n a first source region on a first side of the first gate structure; \n a second FinFET comprising:\n a second gate structure over the first fins; and \n a second source region on a second side of the second gate structure; and \n a common drain region between the first gate structure and the second gate structure, wherein the common drain region comprises a first portion proximate the first gate structure, a second portion proximate the second gate structure, and a third portion between the first portion and the second portion, wherein the third portion of the common drain region is thinner than the first portion and the second portion of the common drain region.
