Abstract

A semiconductor device includes a first well and a second well implanted in a semiconductor substrate. The semiconductor device further includes a gate structure above the first and second wells between a raised source structure and a raised drain structure. The raised source structure above is in contact with the first well and connected with the gate structure through a first semiconductor fin structure. The raised drain structure above and in contact with the second well and connected with a second semiconductor fin structure. The second semiconductor fin structure includes at least a gap and a lightly doped portion.
