Abstract: A semiconductor device includes an active fin on a substrate, a gate electrode and intersecting the active fin, gate spacer layers on both side walls of the gate electrode, and a source/drain region in a recess region of the active fin at at least one side of the gate electrode. The source/drain region may include a base layer in contact with the active fin, and having an inner end and an outer end opposing each other in the first direction on an inner sidewall of the recess region. The source/drain region may include a first layer on the base layer. The first layer may include germanium (Ge) having a concentration higher than a concentration of germanium (Ge) included in the base layer. The outer end of the base layer may contact the first layer, and may have a shape convex toward outside of the gate electrode on a plane.

Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a first fin type pattern on a substrate, a second fin type pattern, parallel to the first fin type pattern, on the substrate, and an epitaxial pattern on the first and second fin type patterns. The epitaxial pattern may include a shared semiconductor pattern on the first fin type pattern and the second fin type pattern. The shared semiconductor pattern may include a first sidewall adjacent to the first fin type pattern and a second sidewall adjacent to the second fin type pattern. The first sidewall may include a first lower facet, a first upper facet on the first lower facet and a first connecting curved surface connecting the first lower and upper facets. The second sidewall may include a second lower facet, a second upper facet on the second lower facet and a second connecting curved surface connecting the second lower and upper facets.

Abstract: A graphics processing unit (GPU) for determining whether to perform tessellation on a first model according to a control of a central processing unit (CPU) is provided. The GPU reads the first model from a memory, which stores prepared models having different complexities; calculates a complexity of the first model; compares the calculated complexity with a reference complexity; and determines whether to perform a tessellation operation on the first model according to a comparison result.
