A semiconductor device and an electronic system including the same are disclosed. The semiconductor device may include a gate electrode on a semiconductor substrate, a gate insulating layer between the gate electrode and the semiconductor substrate, a first epitaxial layer disposed on the semiconductor substrate and at a side of the gate electrode, a second epitaxial layer disposed on the semiconductor substrate and at an opposite side of the gate electrode, a first contact plug in contact with a portion of the first epitaxial layer, and a second contact plug in contact with a portion of the second epitaxial layer. Top surfaces of the first and second epitaxial layers may be located at a level higher than a top surface of the gate electrode.

Semiconductor device and electronic system including the same

A transistor of a semiconductor device includes an isolation region, an active region disposed in the isolation region, a gate extending in a second direction on the active region, and source and drain regions respectively extending in a first direction perpendicular to the second direction in the active region on first and second sides of the gate. The source and drain regions include low-concentration source and drain doping regions including first and second low-concentration source and drain doping regions The source and drain regions further include high-concentration source and drain doping regions respectively disposed in the low-concentration source and drain doping regions and having higher doping concentrations than the low-concentration source and drain doping regions. A first length in the second direction of the first low-concentration source and drain doping regions is greater than a second length in the second direction of the second low-concentration source and drain doping regions.

A semiconductor device includes a gate structure disposed on a substrate. The gate structure has a first sidewall and a second sidewall facing the first sidewall. A first impurity region is disposed within an upper portion of the substrate. The first impurity region is spaced apart from the first sidewall. A third impurity region is within the upper portion of the substrate. The third impurity region is spaced apart from the second sidewall. A first trench is disposed within the substrate between the first sidewall and the first impurity region. The first trench is spaced apart from the first sidewall. A first barrier insulation pattern is disposed within the first trench.
