An integrated circuit device includes a base burying insulating film covering a lower side wall of a fin-type active region on a substrate, an isolation pattern having a top surface higher than a top surface of the base burying insulating film, and a gate line covering a channel section of the fin-type active region. The gate line has an upper gate covering an upper portion of the channel section and a lower gate protruding from the upper gate toward the substrate and filling a space between a lower side wall of the channel section and an upper side wall of the isolation pattern.

A semiconductor device with having a MOS varactor and methods of fabricating the same are disclosed. The MOS varactor includes a metal gate electrode, an active semiconductor plate interposed between the metal gate electrode and the semiconductor substrate, and a capacitor dielectric layer interposed between the metal gate electrode and the active semiconductor plate. Further, a lower insulating layer insulates the MOS varactor from the semiconductor substrate. According to the present invention, a metal gate electrode is used to reduce poly depletion, thereby increasing a tuning range of the varactor, and to manufacture a reliable metal resistor without the need of an additional photomask.

A mesh-shaped gate electrode is located over a surface of a substrate. The mesh-shaped gate electrode includes a plurality of first elongate wirings extending parallel to one another, and a plurality of second elongate wirings extending parallel to one another. The first elongate wirings intersect the second elongate wirings to define an array of gate intersection regions over the surface of the substrate and to further define an array of source/drain regions of the substrate. To reduce gate capacitance, at least one oxide region may be located in the substrate below the mesh-shaped gate electrode. For example, an array of oxide regions may be respectively located below the array of gate intersection regions.

In a method of fabricating local interconnection, a selective epitaxial growth seed layer pattern is formed on a region of a semiconductor substrate where a local interconnection is to be formed. A selective epitaxial layer is formed by performing epitaxial growth on the resultant structure. The resistance of the selective epitaxial layer is reduced to complete the local interconnection.
