    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes an active region extending on a substrate in a first direction, a gate structure including a gate electrode extending on the substrate in a second direction and traversing the active region, a spacer structure extending on opposing sidewalls of the gate electrode in the second direction, and a capping layer on the gate electrode and the spacer structure, a source/drain region on the active region adjacent the gate structure, and a first contact plug connected to the source/drain region and a second contact plug connected to the gate structure. The capping layer includes a lower capping layer and an upper capping layer on the lower capping layer, and the second contact plug penetrates through the capping layer, is connected to the gate electrode and includes a convex sidewall penetrating into the upper capping layer.

    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes an active region extending on a substrate in a first direction; a device isolation layer on the active region; a source/drain region on the active region; an interlayer insulating layer on the source/drain region; a stopper layer on the interlayer insulating layer; a contact structure passing through the interlayer insulating layer and the stopper layer and electrically connected to the source/drain region; and a conductive through-structure passing through the device isolation layer and the interlayer insulating layer from a lower surface of the substrate, and extending in a third direction, to contact a lower surface of the contact structure and the stopper layer, wherein the stopper layer is in contact with a portion of a side surface of the contact structure, and a lower surface of the stopper layer is lower than an upper surface of the contact structure relative to the substrate.
