Abstract
A semiconductor device includes an active pattern which includes a lower pattern, and a sheet pattern that is spaced apart from the lower pattern in a first direction, a gate structure on the lower pattern that includes a gate electrode that surrounds the sheet pattern, the gate electrode extending in a second direction that is perpendicular to the first direction, and a source/drain pattern on the lower pattern and in contact with the sheet pattern. A contact surface between the sheet pattern and the source/drain pattern has a first width in the second direction, and the sheet pattern has a second width in the second direction that is greater than the first width.
