Abstract
Various embodiments of the present invention are to provide a semiconductor device and a method for fabricating the same and, more particularly, to a semiconductor device including isolation layers including an air gap, thereby minimizing stress to a substrate caused by oxide and improving performance of a device, and a method for fabricating the same. The semiconductor device according to the embodiment of the present invention comprises: a plurality of isolation layers each including a trench formed in a substrate and an air gap in a lower portion of the trench; an active region including a fin body disposed between the isolation layers, which are consecutively disposed, and a fin formed on the fin body, the fin having a narrower width than the fin body and extending in a first direction; a gate structure partially covering the active region and the isolation layers, and extending in a second direction; and a source/drain region covering the fin on both sides of the gate structure.
