This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20250151327 titled 'SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME

Original Abstract Submitted

a semiconductor device includes a substrate; an active pattern extending on the substrate in a first direction; a plurality of channel layers on the active pattern; a gate structure surrounding the plurality of channel layers, and extending in a second direction that intersects the first direction; blocking insulating layers on both side surfaces of the gate structure, respectively, each of the blocking insulating layers having an upper region having a first thickness and a lower region having a second thickness smaller than the first thickness; source/drain patterns on portions of the active pattern on both sides of the gate structure, the source/drain patterns defining trenches therein; contact structures on the source/drain patterns and filling the trenches; and a metal-semiconductor compound layer between the source/drain patterns and the contact structures.
