    Abstract: Semiconductor devices include a strain-inducing layer capable of applying a strain to a channel region of a transistor included in a miniaturized electronic device, and a method of manufacturing the semiconductor device. The semiconductor device includes a substrate having a channel region; a pair of source/drain regions provided on the substrate and arranged on both sides of the channel region in a first direction; and a gate structure provided on the channel region and comprising a gate electrode pattern extending in a second direction that is different from the first direction, a gate dielectric layer disposed between the channel region and the gate electrode pattern, and a gate spacer covering respective lateral surfaces of the gate electrode pattern and the gate dielectric layer. At least one of the source/drain regions includes a first strain-inducing layer and a second strain-inducing layer. The first strain-inducing layer is disposed between a lateral surface of the channel region and the second strain-inducing layer and contacts at least a portion of the gate dielectric layer.

    Abstract: A semiconductor memory device may include a semiconductor substrate with an active region extending in a first direction parallel with respect to a surface of the semiconductor substrate. A pillar may extend from the active region in a direction perpendicular with respect to the surface of the semiconductor substrate with the pillar including a channel region on a sidewall thereof. A gate insulating layer may surround a sidewall of the pillar, and a word line may extend in a second direction parallel with respect to the surface of the semiconductor substrate. Moreover, the first and second directions may be different, and the word line may surround the sidewall of the pillar so that the gate insulating layer is between the word line and the pillar. A contact plug may be electrically connected to the active region and spaced apart from the word line, and a bit line may be electrically connected to the active region through the contact plug with the plurality of bit lines extending in the first direction. Related methods are also discussed.
