Abstract
An integrated circuit (IC) device includes a fin-type active region extending in a first lateral direction on a substrate, a gate line extending in a second lateral direction on the fin-type active region, an insulating spacer covering a sidewall of the gate line, a source/drain region at a position adjacent to the gate line, a metal silicide film covering a top surface of the source/drain region, and a source/drain contact apart from the gate line with the insulating spacer therebetween in the first lateral direction. The source/drain contact includes a bottom contact segment being in contact with a top surface of the metal silicide film and an upper contact segment integrally connected to the bottom contact segment. A width of the bottom contact segment is greater than a width of at least a portion of the upper contact segment in the first lateral direction.
