Abstract:
A semiconductor device can include a field insulation layer including a planar major surface extending in first and second orthogonal directions and a protruding portion that protrudes a particular distance from the major surface relative to the first and second orthogonal directions. First and second multi-channel active fins can extend on the field insulation layer, and can be separated from one another by the protruding portion. A conductive layer can extend from an uppermost surface of the protruding portion to cross over the protruding portion between the first and second multi-channel active fins.

Semiconductor devices including fin-FETs and methods of forming the semiconductor devices are provided. The semiconductor devices may include a fin structure including a long side and a short side on a substrate, a first trench including a sidewall defined by the long side of the fin structure and a first field insulating layer in the first trench. The semiconductor devices may also include a second trench including a sidewall defined by the short side of the fin structure and a second field insulating layer in the second trench. A first distance between an uppermost surface of the fin structure and a lowermost surface of the first trench may be different from a second distance between the uppermost surface of the fin structure and a lowermost surface of the second trench.
