Abstract
Semiconductor devices and methods of forming the semiconductor devices are provided. The semiconductor devices may include a substrate, a device isolation layer that defines an active region, an active fin vertically protruding from the active region of the substrate and extending in a horizontal direction, a gate structure traversing the active fin, and a source/drain contact on the active fin on a side of the gate structure. The gate structure may include a gate pattern and a capping pattern on the gate pattern, and the capping pattern may have impurities doped therein. The capping pattern may include a first part and a second part between the first part and the gate pattern. The first and second parts may have impurity concentrations different from each other.
