Abstract
A semiconductor device includes a first semiconductor well. The semiconductor device includes a channel structure disposed above the first semiconductor well and extending along a first lateral direction. The semiconductor device includes a gate structure extending along a second lateral direction and straddling the channel structure. The semiconductor device includes a first epitaxial structure disposed on a first side of the channel structure. The semiconductor device includes a second epitaxial structure disposed on a second side of the channel structure, the first side and second side opposite to each other in the first lateral direction. The first epitaxial structure is electrically coupled to the first semiconductor well with a second semiconductor well in the first semiconductor well, and the second epitaxial structure is electrically isolated from the first semiconductor well with a dielectric layer.
