Abstract
In a multiple gate transistor, the plurality of Fins of the drain or source of the transistor are electrically connected to each other by means of a common contact element, wherein enhanced uniformity of the corresponding contact regions may be accomplished by an enhanced silicidation process sequence. For this purpose, the Fins may be embedded into a dielectric material in which an appropriate contact opening may be formed to expose end faces of the Fins, which may then act as silicidation surface areas.
