Abstract
An integrated circuit (IC) device includes a substrate having a fin-type active region extending in a first direction, a gate structure intersecting the fin-type active region on the substrate, the gate structure extending in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction and parallel to a top surface of the substrate, source and drain regions on both sides of the gate structure, and a first contact structure electrically connected to one of the source and drain regions, the first contact structure including a first contact plug including a first material and a first wetting layer surrounding the first contact plug, the first wetting layer including a second material having a lattice constant that differs from a lattice constant of the first material by about 10% or less.
