Abstract

This invention discloses a semiconductor device, which mainly includes a substrate containing an active region, a contact region surrounding the active region, a plurality of first fin structures extending in the active region along a first direction, a first gate structure extending on the first fin structures along a second direction, and a second fin structure extending in the contact region along the first direction. The contact region specifically includes a first contact region and a second contact region extending along the first direction, and a third contact region and a fourth contact region extending along the second direction, wherein the second fin structure overlaps the first contact region.
