Abstract
A semiconductor device includes an active fin formed to extend in a first direction, a gate formed on the active fin and extending in a second direction crossing the first direction, a source/drain formed on upper portions of the active fin and disposed at one side of the gate, an interlayer insulation layer covering the gate and the source/drain, a source/drain contact passing through the interlayer insulation layer to be connected to the source/drain and including a first contact region and a second contact region positioned between the source/drain and the first contact region, and a spacer layer formed between the first contact region and the interlayer insulation layer. A width of the second contact region in the first direction is greater than the sum of a width of the first contact region in the first direction and a width of the spacer layer in the first direction.
