Abstract:
Methods of forming a semiconductor device are provided. The methods may include forming a plurality of fin-shaped channels on a substrate, forming a gate structure crossing over the plurality of fin-shaped channels and forming a source/drain adjacent a side of the gate structure. The source/drain may cross over the plurality of fin-shaped channels and may be electrically connected to the plurality of fin-shaped channels. The methods may also include forming a metallic layer on an upper surface of the source/drain and forming a conductive contact on the metallic layer opposite the source/drain. The conductive contact may have a first length in a longitudinal direction of the metallic layer that is less than a second length of the metallic layer in the longitudinal direction of the metallic layer.
