Abstract
A semiconductor device includes an active pattern that extends in a first direction; a plurality of gate structures that are spaced apart in the first direction, and include a gate electrode that extends in a second direction; a source/drain recess between adjacent gate structures; a source/drain pattern in the source/drain recess; a source/drain contact connected to the source/drain pattern and that includes a lower part on the source/drain pattern and an upper par; and a contact silicide film disposed along the lower part of the source/drain contact and between the source/drain contact and the source/drain region. The source/drain pattern includes a semiconductor liner film that extends along the source/drain recess and includes silicon germanium, a semiconductor filling film on the semiconductor liner film and that includes silicon germanium, and a semiconductor insertion film that extends along side walls of the lower part of the source/drain contact and includes silicon germanium.
