Abstract
A semiconductor device includes: a substrate; an active pattern and a field insulating layer surrounding a sidewall of the active pattern on the substrate; first and second gate electrodes on the active pattern and extending in a direction different from that of the active pattern; an interlayer insulating layer surrounding a sidewall of each of the first and second gate electrodes; a gate spacer on opposing sidewalls of each of the first and second gate electrodes that includes a first sidewall and a second sidewall opposite the first sidewall in the first horizontal direction, each of which contacts the interlayer insulating layer; and a first gate cut dividing the second gate electrode into two portions, wherein the first gate cut includes a same material as the gate spacer; and wherein a first width of the first gate cut is smaller than a second width of the gate spacer.
