Provided are a semiconductor device and a method of fabricating the same. According to the semiconductor device, a silicide layer is formed on at least a part of both sidewalls of a gate pattern on a device isolation layer, thereby reducing resistance of the gate pattern. This makes an operation speed of the device rapid. According to the method of the semiconductor device, a sidewall spacer pattern is formed on at least a part of both sidewalls of the gate pattern in following salicide process by entirely or partially removing remaining portions of the sidewall spacer except for portions which are used as an ion implantation mask to form source/drain regions. This can reduce resistance of the gate pattern, thereby fabricating a semiconductor device with a rapid operation speed.
