Abstract:
A semiconductor device includes a fin active region protruding from a substrate and extending in a first direction, a gate electrode covering an upper surface and sidewalls of the fin active region and extending in a second direction crossing the first direction, a gate spacer structure on opposite sidewalls of the gate electrode, an insulating capping layer on the gate electrode and extending in the second direction, an insulating liner on opposite sidewalls of the gate electrode and on an upper surface of the gate spacer structure, and a self-aligned contact at a side of the gate electrode. The insulating liner may have a second thickness greater than a first thickness of the gate spacer structure. A sidewall of the self-aligned contact may be in contact with the gate spacer structure and the insulating liner.

Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a semiconductor devices includes providing a semiconductor substrate that includes a channel region. The method includes forming a gate electrode material film including a stepped portion on the channel region. A sacrificial material film that has an etch selectivity that is the same as an etch selectivity of the gate electrode material film is formed. The sacrificial material film is planarized until a top surface of the gate electrode material film is exposed. The stepped portion is reduced by removing an exposed portion of the gate electrode material film.
