Abstract
A semiconductor device structure, along with methods of forming such, are described. The semiconductor device structure includes a first source/drain epitaxial feature disposed in a first region, and the first source/drain epitaxial feature is asymmetric with respect to a fin. The structure further includes a second source/drain epitaxial feature disposed in the first region, a first dielectric feature disposed between the first source/drain epitaxial feature and the second source/drain epitaxial feature, and a conductive feature disposed over the first and second source/drain epitaxial features and the first dielectric feature.
