The first gate pattern has a top width that is substantially the same as or less than a bottom width of the first gate pattern. A second gate pattern is provided on a second active area of the semiconductor substrate. The second gate pattern has a top width that is wider than a bottom width of the second gate pattern. Semiconductor device are fabricated by forming a first gate pattern on a first gate insulation layer formed on a first active region of a semiconductor substrate.

Second and third gate insulation layers respectively are formed on second and third active regions exposed in the first and second gate openings. Second and third gate patterns are formed in the first and second gate openings respectively and the mask insulation layer is removed.

The present invention provides a semiconductor device having an elevated source/drain and a method of fabricating the same. In the semiconductor device, an active region is defined at a predetermined region of a semiconductor substrate and a gate electrode is formed to cross over the active region. First and second insulating layer patterns are sequentially stacked on sidewalls of the gate electrode, and a silicon epitaxial layer adjacent to edges of the first and second insulating layer patterns is formed on the active region. The edge of the first insulating layer pattern is protruded from the edge of the second insulating layer pattern to be covered with the silicon epitaxial layer whose predetermined region is silicided. Further, the method includes defining an active region a semiconductor substrate, forming a gate electrode crossing over the active region, sequentially stacking first and second insulating layer patterns an active region adjacent to opposite sides of the gate electrode, forming a silicon epitaxial layer on the active region to be adjacent to edges of the first and second insulating layer patterns, and siliciding at least a part of the silicon epitaxial layer. The edge of the first insulating layer pattern contacting the active region is protruded from the edge of the second insulating layer pattern, and the silicon epitaxial layer covers the protruded edge of the first insulating layer pattern.
