  • Publication number: 20240113110
    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes first and second active patterns on first and second PMOS regions, two first source/drain patterns spaced apart along a first direction on the first active pattern and a first channel pattern including first semiconductor patterns between the two first source/drain patterns, and two second source/drain patterns spaced apart along the first direction on the second active pattern and a second channel pattern including second semiconductor patterns between the two second source/drain patterns. A width in a second direction of the each of the first semiconductor patterns is greater than a width of each of the second semiconductor patterns. Each of the first and second source/drain patterns includes semiconductor layers having different germanium concentrations. A number of the semiconductor layers of each of the two second source/drain patterns is greater than a number of the semiconductor layers of each of the two first source/drain patterns.

  • Patent number: 11881509
    Abstract: The semiconductor device may include an active pattern provided on a substrate and a source/drain pattern on the active pattern. The source/drain pattern may include a bottom surface in contact with a top surface of the active pattern. The semiconductor device may further include a channel pattern connected to the source/drain pattern, a gate electrode extended to cross the channel pattern, and a fence insulating layer extended from a side surface of the active pattern to a lower side surface of the source/drain pattern. A pair of middle insulating patterns may be at both sides of the bottom surface of the source/drain pattern and between the active pattern and the source/drain pattern in contact with an inner side surface of the fence insulating layer.

  • Publication number: 20240006485
    Abstract: A semiconductor device include first and second active patterns, first and second gate structures, and first and second source/drain layers. The first and second active patterns extend on the first and second regions in a first direction. The first and second gate structures are formed on the first and second active patterns, and extend in a second direction. The first and second source/drain layers are formed on the first and second active patterns adjacent to the first and second gate structures. The first active pattern includes a first well having first and second impurity regions. The second active pattern includes a second well having third and fourth impurity regions. A width in the second direction of the first impurity region is greater than that of the second impurity region. A width in the second direction of the third impurity region is smaller than that of the fourth impurity region.
