A semiconductor device includes a substrate that includes a peripheral region, a first active pattern on the peripheral region, a first source/drain pattern on the first active pattern, a first channel pattern formed on the first active pattern and connected to the first source/drain pattern, wherein the first channel pattern includes semiconductor patterns that are stacked and spaced apart from each other, a first gate electrode that extends in a first direction and crosses the first channel pattern, a gate insulating layer interposed between the first gate electrode and the first channel pattern, a first gate contact disposed on the first gate electrode and that extends in the first direction, and a first dielectric layer interposed between the first gate electrode and the first gate contact. The first dielectric layer is interposed between the first gate contact and the first gate electrode and extends in the first direction.

Semiconductor device

A semiconductor device includes first and second active patterns respectively on the first and second active regions of a substrate, a gate electrode on the first and second channel patterns, active contacts electrically connected to at least one of the first and second source/drain patterns, a gate contact electrically connected to the gate electrode, a first metal layer on the active and gate contacts and including a first and second power line, and first and second gate cutting patterns below the first and second power lines. The first active pattern may include first channel pattern between a pair of first source/drain patterns. The second active pattern may include a second channel pattern between a pair of second source/drain patterns. The first and second gate cutting patterns may cover the outermost side surfaces of the first and second channel patterns, respectively.

A semiconductor device includes a first active pattern on a substrate, a pair of first source/drain patterns on the first active pattern and a first channel pattern between the pair of first source/drain patterns, wherein the first channel pattern includes a plurality of semiconductor patterns that are stacked and spaced apart from each other, a first gate electrode on the first channel pattern, a first gate cutting pattern that is adjacent to the first channel pattern and penetrates the first gate electrode, and a first residual pattern between the first gate cutting pattern and the first channel pattern. The first residual pattern covers an outermost sidewall of at least one semiconductor pattern of the plurality of semiconductor patterns of the first channel pattern. The first gate electrode includes, on an upper portion of the first gate electrode, a first extension that vertically overlaps the first residual pattern.
