    Abstract: Semiconductor devices having improved performance and reliability. For example, a semiconductor device may include a substrate, an active pattern extending in a first direction, on the substrate, a plurality of gate structures on the active pattern, each including a gate electrode that crosses the active pattern. A lower active contact may be connected to a source/drain pattern. A trench may expose the lower active contact, and a width of a bottom surface of the trench in the first direction may be greater than a width of an upper surface of the lower active contact in the first direction. An etching stop film may be along the bottom surface of the trench and side walls of the trench, and have an uppermost surface coplanar with an upper surface of an upper active contact that extends through the etching stop film and is connected to the lower active contact.

    Abstract: A semiconductor device is provided. A semiconductor device includes: a lower metal layer including first, second, and third conductive patterns spaced apart from each other in a first insulating film; first and second interlayer insulating films between the first and second conductive patterns and between the second and third conductive patterns, respectively, so as to be spaced apart from each other; a via metal layer inside a recess on the lower metal layer and electrically connected to the lower metal layer; and a second insulating film at least partially surrounding side surfaces of the via metal layer and having a first insulating film portion on a concave portion between the first and second interlayer insulating films and a second insulating film portion on the first insulating film portion, wherein a carbon concentration in the first insulating film portion is higher than a carbon concentration in the second insulating film portion.
