A transistor may include a source region and a drain region separately formed in a substrate, a trench defined in the substrate between the source region and the drain region, and a buried gate electrode formed. The buried gate electrode includes a high work function liner layer having a bottom portion which is positioned over a bottom of the trench and sidewall portions which are positioned on lower sidewalls of the trench; a low work function liner layer positioned on upper sidewalls of the trench, and overlapping with the source region and the drain region; and a low resistance layer contacting the high work function liner layer and the low work function liner layer, and partially filling the trench.
