    摘要: An integrated circuit device includes a substrate having an active region and a word line trench therein. The word line trench includes a lower portion having a first width, and an upper portion, which extends between the lower portion and a surface of the substrate and has a second width that is greater than the first width. A word line is provided, which extends in and adjacent a bottom of the word line trench. A gate insulation layer is provided, which extends between the word line and sidewalls of the lower portion of the word line trench. An electrically insulating gate capping layer is provided in the upper portion of the word line trench. An insulation liner is provided, which extends between the gate capping layer and sidewalls of the upper portion of the word line trench. The gate insulation layer extends between the insulation liner and a portion of the gate capping layer, which extends within the upper portion of the word line trench.

    摘要: An Integrated Circuit (IC) semiconductor device includes: field insulating layers buried in field trenches disposed apart from each other inside a substrate; active regions defined by the field insulating layers; and active fins disposed on the active regions and protruding from surfaces of the field insulating layers. The field insulating layers include a first subfield insulating layer and a second subfield insulating layer, and a surface of the first subfield insulating layer is disposed at a level lower than a level of a surface of the second subfield insulating layer.
