Abstract:
In a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device, first to third active fins are formed on a substrate. Each of the first to third active fins extends in a first direction, and the second active fin, the first active fin, and the third active fin are disposed in this order in a second direction crossing the first direction. The second active fin is removed using a first etching mask covering the first and third active fins. The third active fin is removed using a second etching mask covering the first active fin and a portion of the substrate from which the second active fin is removed. A first gate structure is formed on the first active fin. A first source/drain layer is formed on a portion of the first active fin adjacent the first gate structure.

Claim (Index 3):
A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device, the method comprising:\n forming first to third active fins on a substrate, each of the first to third active fins extending in a first direction substantially parallel to an upper surface of the substrate, the second active fin, the first active fin, and the third active fin being disposed in this order in a second direction substantially parallel to the upper surface of the substrate and crossing the first direction, and the second active fin including first and second portions disposed in the second direction and contacting each other; removing the third active fin using a first etching mask covering the first and second active fins; partially removing the second active fin using a second etching mask exposing only a portion of the first portion of the second active fin adjacent the second portion of the second active fin; forming a gate structure on the first and second active fins; and forming a first source/drain layer on portions of the first and second active fins adjacent the gate structure.
