Abstract

A semiconductor device includes a substrate, at least one first isolation structure, at least two second isolation structure, and an epitaxy structure. The substrate has a plurality of semiconductor fins therein. The first isolation structure is disposed between the semiconductor fins. The semiconductor fins are disposed between the second isolation structures, and the second isolation structures extend into the substrate further than the first isolation structure. The epitaxy structure is disposed on the semiconductor fins. At least one void is present between the first isolation structure and the epitaxy structure.
