US Patent 9590038 Semiconductor device having nanowire channel

A semiconductor device is provided as follows. A fin-type pattern includes first and second oxide regions in an upper portion of the fin-type pattern. The fin-type pattern is extended in a first direction. A first nanowire is extended in the first direction and spaced apart from the fin-type pattern. A gate electrode surrounds a periphery of the first nanowire, extending in a second direction intersecting the first direction. The gate electrode is disposed on a region of the fin-type pattern. The region is positioned between the first and the second oxide regions. A first source/drain is disposed on the first oxide region and connected with an end portion of the first nanowire.
