Abstract:
A semiconductor device includes a fin field effect transistor. The semiconductor device includes a first gate electrode, a first source/drain (S/D) region disposed adjacent to the first gate electrode, a first S/D contact disposed on the first S/D region, a first spacer layer disposed between the first gate electrode and the first S/D region, a first contact layer in contact with the first gate electrode and the first S/D contact, and a first wiring layer integrally formed with the first contact layer. There is no interface between the first contact layer and the first wiring layer in a cross sectional view, and the first contact layer has a smaller area than the first wiring layer in plan view.

Claim (Index 15):
A semiconductor device, comprising:\n a first fin structure and a second fin structure; a first gate electrode disposed over the first fin structure and between first gate sidewall spacers made of an insulating material; a second gate electrode disposed over the second fin structure and between second gate sidewall spacers made of an insulating material; a first gate contact layer made of a first conductive material and being disposed on the first gate electrode; a second gate contact layer made of the first conductive material and being disposed on the second gate electrode; a first source/drain (S/D) region; a second source/drain (S/D) region; a first S/D contact made of a second conductive material and being disposed on the first S/D region; a second S/D contact made of the second conductive material and being disposed on the second S/D region; a first contact layer made of a third conductive material and being in contact with the first gate contact layer and the first S/D contact; a second contact layer made of the third conductive material and being in contact with the second gate contact layer; and a third contact layer made of the third conductive material and being in contact with the second S/D contact, wherein: the third contact layer is disposed above the second fin structure, and the second contact layer is disposed above an isolation insulating layer from which the first and second fin structures protrude.
