A semiconductor device includes a substrate including first and second active regions, first and second active patterns on the first and second active regions, and a gate electrode crossing the first and second active patterns. The gate electrode may include first and second electrode portions on the first and second active regions. The first electrode portion may include a first metal pattern and a second metal pattern on the first metal pattern. The second electrode portion may include a third metal pattern and a fourth metal pattern on the third metal pattern. The first metal pattern may include a first line portion and a first vertical portion extended from the first line portion, and the third metal pattern may include a second line portion and a second vertical portion extended from the second line portion. The first and second vertical portions may be in contact with each other.

Semiconductor device

A semiconductor device is provided. The semiconductor device includes: first, second and third active patterns on a logic cell region of a substrate and are spaced apart from each other in a first direction; first and second gate electrodes, the first gate electrode crossing the first active pattern and the second gate electrode crossing the second active pattern; a first separation pattern provided between the first and second active patterns; a second separation pattern provided between the second and third active patterns; a first gate insulating layer interposed between the first gate electrode and the first active pattern; and a first gate cutting pattern interposed between the first and second gate electrodes, and in contact with a top surface of the first separation pattern. The first separation pattern is wider than the second separation pattern, and the first gate insulating layer extends between the first gate electrode and the first separation pattern, and contacts side and top surfaces of the first separation pattern.
