==SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17732811 titled 'SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE

==Simplified Explanation==

The abstract describes a semiconductor device that includes multiple active regions, insulating structures, channel layers, gate structures, and source/drain regions. The insulating structures extend along the side surfaces of the source/drain regions.

* The semiconductor device has first and second active regions on a substrate.
* Insulating structures are present on the first and second active regions.
* Channel layers are vertically stacked on each of the insulating structures.
* Gate structures intersect the first and second active regions and surround the channel layers.
* Source/drain regions, doped with different impurities, are on the sides of the gate structures and contact the channel layers.
* The insulating structures extend upwardly along the side surfaces of the source/drain regions.

==Potential Applications==
* This semiconductor device can be used in various electronic devices such as smartphones, tablets, and computers.
* It can be utilized in the manufacturing of integrated circuits and microprocessors.

==Problems Solved==
* The device solves the problem of efficiently integrating multiple active regions and insulating structures on a substrate.
* It addresses the need for precise control and contact between the source/drain regions and the channel layers.

==Benefits==
* The device allows for improved performance and functionality of electronic devices.
* It enables better control over the flow of current in the semiconductor device.
* The extended insulating structures provide enhanced isolation and protection for the source/drain regions.
