Abstract
Disclosed is a semiconductor device including a first active pattern and a second active pattern that extend in a first direction on a substrate and are spaced apart from each other in a second direction crossing the first direction, a first gate structure that extends across the first and second active patterns, a second gate structure that is spaced apart from the first gate structure, and a node contact between the first and second gate structures that electrically connects the first active pattern and the second active pattern to each other. The node contact comprises a first end adjacent to the first active pattern and a second end adjacent to the second active pattern. The second end of the node contact being shifted in the first direction relative to the first end of the node contact so as to be closer to the second gate structure than to the first gate structure.
