SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICES - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18133977 titled 'SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICES
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a semiconductor device that includes a first isolation structure, a first gate structure, and first source/drain regions. The first isolation structure consists of an upper isolation pattern structure and a lower isolation pattern. The upper isolation pattern structure includes a first isolation pattern and a second isolation pattern that covers the sidewall of the first isolation pattern. The lower isolation pattern is formed under the upper isolation pattern structure and has a greater width than the upper isolation pattern structure.

Original Abstract Submitted
A semiconductor device includes a first isolation structure extending through an upper portion of a substrate and defining a first active region, a first gate structure on the substrate, and first source/drain regions at upper portions of the first active region adjacent to the first gate structure. The first isolation structure includes an upper isolation pattern structure and a lower isolation pattern. The upper isolation pattern structure includes a first isolation pattern and a second isolation pattern covering a sidewall of the first isolation pattern. The lower isolation pattern is formed under and contacting the upper isolation pattern structure, and a width of the lower isolation pattern is greater than a width of the upper isolation pattern structure.
