Abstract
A semiconductor device comprises a substrate, a first active pattern on the substrate and extending in a first direction, a second active pattern extending in the first direction spaced apart from the substrate, a gate electrode extending in a second direction surrounding the first and second active patterns, and a high dielectric film between the first and second active patterns and the gate electrode. The gate electrode includes first and second work function adjusting films surrounding the high dielectric film on the first and second active patterns, and a filling conductive film surrounding the first and second work function adjusting films. The first and second work function adjusting films include first and second work function conductive films, each of which includes a first metal film. A thickness of the first metal film of the first work function conductive film is greater than that of the second work function conductive film.
