Abstract
A semiconductor device includes a first device isolation layer defining active regions spaced apart from each other along a first direction on a substrate, second device isolation layers defining a plurality of active patterns protruding from the substrate, the second device isolation layers extending in the first direction to be spaced apart from each other in a second direction and connected to the first device isolation layer, a gate structure extending in the second direction on the first device isolation layer between the active regions, a top surface of the second device isolation layer being lower than a top surface of the active pattern, a top surface of the first device isolation layer being higher than the top surface of the active pattern, and at least part of a bottom surface of the gate structure being higher than the top surface of the active pattern.
