Abstract
A semiconductor device includes a plurality of fins on a substrate. A fin liner is formed on an end surface of each of the plurality of fins. An insulating layer is formed on the plurality of fins. A plurality of polycrystalline silicon layers are formed on the insulating layer. A source/drain epitaxial layer is formed in a source/drain space in each of the plurality of fins. One of the polycrystalline silicon layers is formed on a region spaced-apart from the fins.
