Abstract
A semiconductor device may include first and second fin-shaped patterns on a substrate, that extend in a first direction, and are spaced apart from each other in a second direction. A first epitaxial pattern may be on the first fin-shaped pattern, and a second epitaxial pattern may be on the second fin-shaped pattern. A field insulating layer may be on the substrate, and may cover a sidewall of the first fin-shaped pattern, a sidewall of the second fin-shaped pattern, a part of a sidewall of the first epitaxial pattern, and a part of a sidewall of the second epitaxial pattern. The top surface of the field insulating layer may be higher than the bottom surface of the first epitaxial pattern and the bottom surface of the second epitaxial pattern.
