Abstract
An integrated circuit device includes a word line on active regions and a device isolation film and extending in a first horizontal direction. The word line includes first conductive patterns spaced apart from each other in the first horizontal direction. Each of the first conductive patterns covers a pair of active regions that are immediately adjacent to each other in the first horizontal direction, and a first portion of the device isolation film between each active region of the pair of active regions. Second conductive patterns are arranged one-by-one between the first conductive patterns. Each of the second conductive patterns covers a second portion of the device isolation film. A first vertical distance from the substrate to a lowermost surface of each of the first conductive patterns is greater than a second vertical distance from the substrate to a lowermost surface of each of the second conductive patterns.
