Abstract:
A semiconductor device and method of forming the same is disclosed. The semiconductor device includes a substrate, two semiconductor fins over the substrate, and a semiconductor feature over the two semiconductor fins. The semiconductor feature comprises two lower portions and one upper portion. The two lower portions are directly over the two semiconductor fins respectively. The upper portion is over the two lower portions. A bottom surface of the upper portion has an arc-like cross-sectional shape.

Claim (Index 17):
A semiconductor device, comprising:\n a semiconductor substrate; a first fin and a second fin extending from the semiconductor substrate; a first lower semiconductor feature directly over the first fin; a second lower semiconductor feature directly over the second fin, wherein each of the first and second lower semiconductor features includes a top surface bending downward towards the semiconductor substrate; and an upper semiconductor feature directly over and in physical contact with the first and second lower semiconductor features, wherein a bottom surface of the upper semiconductor feature has a curvature cross-sectional shape.
