Abstract

The semiconductor device includes first and second common source semiconductor layers respectively extending in a first direction, first and second logic gate circuits respectively composed of at least one three-dimensional P-type FET and a three-dimensional N-type FET. The sources of the three-dimensional P-type FETs in the first and second logic gate circuits are joined to the first common source semiconductor layer. The sources of the three-dimensional N-type FETs in the first and second logic gate circuits are joined to the second common source semiconductor layer. The semiconductor layers of the three-dimensional P-type and N-type FETs in the first logic gate circuit are joined in their drain side, and The semiconductor layers of the three-dimensional P-type and N-type FETs in the second logic gate circuit are joined in their drain side. The dissipation of the FinFET can be improved.
