Abstract: A semiconductor device and a method of forming the same, the semiconductor device includes a substrate, a gate structure and an epitaxial structure. The gate structure is disposed on the substrate, and the epitaxial structure is disposed in the substrate, at one side of the gate structure. The epitaxial structure includes a portion being protruded from a top surface of the substrate, and the portion includes a discontinuous sidewall, with a distance between a turning point of the discontinuous sidewalls and the gate structure being a greatest distance between the epitaxial structure and the gate structure.

Abstract: A method for fabricating semiconductor device includes the steps of first providing a substrate having a fin-shaped structure thereon, forming a single diffusion break (SDB) structure in the substrate to divide the fin-shaped structure into a first portion and a second portion, and then forming more than one gate structures such as a first gate structure and a second gate structure on the SDB structure. Preferably, each of the first gate structure and the second gate structure overlaps the fin-shaped structure and the SDB structure.
