A semiconductor device includes: an active fin disposed on a substrate; a gate structure overlapping the active fin; source/drain regions disposed on both sides of the gate structure and on the active fin; and contact structures respectively connected to the source/drain regions, wherein the gate structure includes: a pair of gate spacers spaced apart from each other to provide a trench; a first gate electrode disposed in the trench and extending along an upper surface and a lateral surface of the active fin; a second gate electrode disposed on the first gate electrode in the trench, wherein the first gate electrode is not disposed between the second gate electrode and the pair of gate spacers; and a gate insulating film disposed between the pair of gate spacers and interposed between the first gate electrode and the active fin.

Semiconductor device including a gate structure

A method of fabricating a semiconductor device may include forming a first conductive layer on first to third regions of a substrate, forming a barrier layer on the first conductive layer, the barrier layer including a first barrier layer, a second barrier layer, and a sacrificial layer which are sequentially formed, sequentially forming a second conductive layer and a third conductive layer on the barrier layer, performing a first etching process to remove the third conductive layer from the second region and the third region, the third conductive layer remaining on the first region after the first etching process, and performing a second etching process to remove the second conductive layer and the sacrificial layer from the third region, the second conductive layer and the sacrificial layer remaining on the first region and on the second region after the second etching process.

Methods of fabricating semiconductor devices including differing barrier layer structures

A semiconductor device includes a substrate including a first region and a second region, a first gate dielectric layer, a first lower gate electrode, and a first upper gate electrode sequentially stacked on the first region, a second gate dielectric layer, a second lower gate electrode, and a second upper gate electrode sequentially stacked on the second region, a first spacer disposed on a sidewall of the first upper gate electrode, a second spacer disposed on a sidewall of the second upper gate electrode, a third spacer covering the first spacer on the sidewall of the first upper gate electrode, and a fourth spacer covering the second spacer on the sidewall of the second upper gate electrode. At least one of a first sidewall of the first lower gate electrode and a second sidewall of the first lower gate electrode is in contact with the third spacer.
