Abstract
Present invention relates to a highly-integrated memory cell and a semiconductor device including the same. According to an embodiment of the present invention, a semiconductor device comprises: an active layer including a channel, the active layer being spaced apart from a substrate and extending in a direction parallel to a surface of the substrate; a gate dielectric layer formed over the active layer; a word line laterally oriented in a direction crossing the active layer over the gate dielectric layer and including a low work function electrode and a high work function electrode, the high work function electrode having a higher work function than the low work function electrode; and a dipole inducing layer disposed between the high work function electrode and the gate dielectric layer.
