Abstract
In a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device, a fin structure having a bottom portion, an intermediate portion disposed over the bottom portion and an upper portion disposed over the intermediate portion is formed. The intermediate portion is removed at a source/drain region of the fin structure, thereby forming a space between the bottom portion and the upper portion. An insulating layer is formed in the space. A source/drain contact layer is formed over the upper portion. The source/drain contact layer is separated by the insulating layer from the bottom portion of the fin structure.
