Abstract

A fin Field Effect Transistor (finFET) can include a source region and a drain region of the finFET. A gate of the finFET can cross over a fin of the finFET between the source and drain regions. First and second silicide layers can be on the source and drain regions respectively. The first and second silicide layers can include respective first and second surfaces that face the gate crossing over the fin, where the first and second surfaces are different sizes.
