A semiconductor device includes a substrate having an active pattern, a conductive pattern crossing the active pattern, a spacer structure on at least one side surface of the conductive pattern, and a capping structure on the conductive pattern. The capping structure includes a first capping pattern and a second capping pattern. The second capping pattern is disposed on a top surface of the first capping pattern and a top surface of the spacer structure.

Semiconductor device and method of manufacturing the same

A semiconductor device includes a fin active region protruding from a substrate and extending in a first direction, a gate electrode covering an upper surface and sidewalls of the fin active region and extending in a second direction crossing the first direction, a gate spacer structure on opposite sidewalls of the gate electrode, an insulating capping layer on the gate electrode and extending in the second direction, an insulating liner on opposite sidewalls of the gate electrode and on an upper surface of the gate spacer structure, and a self-aligned contact at a side of the gate electrode. The insulating liner may have a second thickness greater than a first thickness of the gate spacer structure. A sidewall of the self-aligned contact may be in contact with the gate spacer structure and the insulating liner.

Semiconductor device

Methods of fabricating a semiconductor device are provided, the methods include forming a first dielectric layer, a data storage layer, and a second dielectric layer, which are sequentially stacked, on a semiconductor substrate. A mask having a first opening exposing a first region of the second dielectric layer is formed on the second dielectric layer. A gate electrode filling at least a portion of the first opening is formed. A second opening exposing a second region of the second dielectric layer is formed by etching the mask such that the second region is spaced apart from the first region. A second dielectric pattern and a data storage pattern are formed by sequentially etching the exposed second region of the second dielectric layer and the data storage layer. The second dielectric pattern is formed to have a greater width than a lower surface of the gate electrode.
