Semiconductor device channel layers stacked vertically and method of fabricating the same

Abstract

A semiconductor device includes an active pattern on a substrate, source/drain patterns on the active pattern, a plurality of channel layers stacked on the active pattern to be vertically spaced apart from each other and connecting the source/drain patterns with each other, a gate electrode between the source/drain patterns to cross the active pattern and to surround the channel layers, and active contacts at opposite sides of the gate electrode to cover top surfaces of the source/drain patterns. A width of each of the active contacts is smaller than or equal to the largest width of each of the source/drain patterns. Each of the top surfaces of the source/drain patterns has an inclined surface that is inclined relative to a top surface of the substrate, and each of the active contacts includes a protruding portion that protrudes toward the inclined surface.
