Abstract

A semiconductor device includes an isolation layer disposed over a substrate, first and second fin structures, a gate structure, a source/drain structure. The first fin structure and the second fin structure are both disposed over the substrate, and extend in a first direction in plan view. The gate structure is disposed over parts of the first and second fin structures, and extends in a second direction crossing the first direction in plan view. A first void is formed in the source/drain structure, and a second void is formed in the source/drain structure and located above the first void.
