ABSTRACT:
Example embodiments relate to a semiconductor device including a fin-type channel region and a method of fabricating the same. The semiconductor device includes a semiconductor substrate, a semiconductor pillar and a contact plug. The semiconductor substrate includes at least one pair of fins used (or functioning) as an active region. The semiconductor pillar may be interposed between portions of the fins to connect the fins. The contact plug may be disposed (or formed) on the semiconductor pillar and electrically connected to top surfaces of the fins.
