A semiconductor device includes an active fin on a substrate, a gate structure on the active fin, a gate spacer structure on a sidewall of the gate structure, and a source/drain layer on at least a portion of the active fin adjacent the gate spacer structure. The gate spacer structure includes a wet etch stop pattern, an oxygen-containing silicon pattern, and an outgassing prevention pattern sequentially stacked.
Abstract:
A semiconductor device may include fin active regions extending parallel to each other on a substrate, an isolation region between the fin active regions, gate patterns intersecting the fin active regions and extending parallel to each other, source/drain areas on the fin active regions between the gate patterns and fin active region spacers contacting side surfaces of the fin active regions and formed over a surface of the isolation region between the fin active regions. Uppermost levels of the fin active region spacers may be higher than interfaces between the fin active regions and the source/drain areas. The upper surface of the isolation region may be lower than bottom surfaces of the source/drain areas.
