A semiconductor device may include active pattern, a silicon liner, an insulation layer, an isolation pattern and a transistor. The active pattern may protrude from a substrate. The silicon liner having a crystalline structure may be formed conformally on surfaces of the active pattern and the substrate. The insulation layer may be formed on the silicon liner. The isolation pattern may be formed on the insulation layer to fill a trench adjacent to the active pattern. The transistor may include a gate structure and impurity regions. The gate structure may be disposed on the silicon liner, and the impurity regions may be formed at the silicon liner and the active pattern adjacent to both sides of the gate structure.

A semiconductor device may include a substrate including a recess, a gate insulation layer on a surface of the recess, an impurity barrier layer on a surface of the gate insulation layer to cover the surface of the gate insulation layer, a first gate pattern on impurity barrier layer to fill a lower portion of the recess, a second gate pattern on the first gate pattern in the recess, a capping insulation pattern on the second gate pattern to fill the recess, and impurity regions at the substrate adjacent to an upper sidewall of the recess. The impurity barrier layer may have a concentration of nitrogen higher than a concentration of nitrogen included in the gate insulation layer. The second gate pattern may include a material different from a material of the first gate pattern. A lower surface of the impurity regions may be higher than an upper surface of the first gate pattern. Thus, the semiconductor device may have good characteristics.
