Abstract
A semiconductor device may include a substrate including an active pattern, a source/drain pattern on the active pattern, an active contact on the source/drain pattern; a lower power line in the substrate, a lower contact that vertically connects the active contact to the lower power line, a conductive layer between the lower contact and the lower power line, and a power delivery network layer on a bottom surface of the substrate. The conductive layer may include silicon (Si) and a first element. The first element may include a transition metal or a metalloid. A concentration of the first element may decrease in a direction from the lower contact toward the lower power line.
