Abstract

See full text

A semiconductor device includes an isolation layer disposed over a substrate, first and second fin structures, a gate structure, a source/drain structure and a dielectric layer disposed on an upper surface of the isolation insulating layer. Both the first fin structure and the second fin structure are disposed over the substrate, and extend in a first direction in plan view. The gate structure is disposed over parts of the first and second fin structures, and extends in a second direction crossing the first direction. The first and second fin structures not covered by the gate structure are recessed below the upper surface of the isolation insulating layer. The source/drain structure is formed over the recessed first and second fin structures. A void is formed between the source/drain structure and the dielectric layer.
