摘要:
Semiconductor devices may include a substrate, gate electrodes on the substrate, and source/drain regions at both sides of each of the gate electrodes. Each of the gate electrodes may include a gate insulating pattern on the substrate, a lower work-function electrode pattern that is on the gate insulating pattern and has a recessed upper surface, and an upper work-function electrode pattern that conformally extends on the recessed upper surface of the lower work-function electrode pattern. Topmost surfaces of the lower work-function electrode patterns may be disposed at an equal level, and the upper work-function electrode patterns may have different thicknesses from each other.

A semiconductor device includes an active pattern protruding from a substrate, gate structures crossing over the active pattern, gate spacers on sidewalls of the gate structures, a source/drain region n the active pattern between the gate structures, and a source/drain contact on and connected to the source/drain region. The source/drain contact includes a first portion between the gate structures and being in contact with the gate spacers, a second portion on the first portion and not being in contact with the gate spacers, and a third portion on the second portion. A first boundary between the second and third portions is at the substantially same height as a top surface of the gate structure.

Provided is a method of fabricating a semiconductor device. Gate patterns are formed on a substrate including an NMOS transistor region and a PMOS transistor region. A spacer structure is formed on sidewalls of the gate patterns. The substrate in the PMOS transistor region is etched using the gate patterns and the spacer structure as etching masks, and thereby a recessed region is formed. A compressive stress pattern is formed in the recessed region, and a sidewall of the compressive stress pattern protrudes upwardly from an upper surface of the substrate. A mask oxide layer is formed on a sidewall of the spacer structure. The mask oxide layer is formed to cover a portion of the sidewall of the compressive stress pattern that protrudes upwardly from the upper surface of the substrate.
