Abstract:
A method includes providing a plurality of active regions on a substrate, and at least a first device isolation layer between two of the plurality of active regions, wherein the plurality of active regions extend in a first direction; providing a gate layer extending in a second direction, the gate layer forming a plurality of gate lines including a first gate line and a second gate line extending in a straight line with respect to each other and having a space therebetween, each of the first gate line and second gate line crossing at least one of the active regions, providing an insulation layer covering the first device isolation layer and covering the active region around each of the first and second gate lines; and providing an inter-gate insulation region in the space between the first gate line and the second gate line.
Abstract:
An integrated circuit device including a substrate; a fin-type active region protruding from the substrate; a gate line intersecting the fin-type active region and covering a top surface and side walls thereof; a gate insulating capping layer covering the gate line; source/drain regions at sides of the gate line on the fin-type active region; first conductive plugs connected to the source/drain regions; a hard mask layer covering the first conductive plugs; and a second conductive plug between the first conductive plugs, the second conductive plug connected to the gate line by passing through the gate insulating capping layer and having a top surface higher than the top surface of each first conductive plug, wherein the hard mask layer protrudes from the first conductive plugs and toward the second conductive plug so that a portion of the hard mask layer overhangs from an edge of the first conductive plugs.
