Abstract:
A semiconductor device including a device isolation region is provided. The semiconductor device includes first active regions disposed on a substrate, and an isolation region between the active regions. The isolation region includes a first portion formed of a first insulating material, and a second portion formed of a second insulating material, having different characteristics from those of the first insulating material. The first portion is closer to the first active regions than the second portion. The second portion has a bottom surface having a height different from that of a bottom surface of the first portion.

Abstract:
In a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device, first to third active fins are formed on a substrate. Each of the first to third active fins extends in a first direction, and the second active fin, the first active fin, and the third active fin are disposed in this order in a second direction crossing the first direction. The second active fin is removed using a first etching mask covering the first and third active fins. The third active fin is removed using a second etching mask covering the first active fin and a portion of the substrate from which the second active fin is removed. A first gate structure is formed on the first active fin. A first source/drain layer is formed on a portion of the first active fin adjacent the first gate structure.

Abstract:
A semiconductor device has gate-all-around devices formed in respective regions on a substrate. The gate-all-around devices have nanowires at different levels. The threshold voltage of a gate-all-around device in first region is based on a thickness of an active layer in an adjacent second region. The active layer in the second region may be at substantially a same level as the nanowire in the first region. Thus, the nanowire in the first region may have a thickness based on the thickness of the active layer in the second region, or the thicknesses may be different. When more than one active layer is included, nanowires in different ones of the regions may be disposed at different heights and/or may have different thicknesses.
