Abstract
An integrated circuit device includes an active area extending in a first direction on a substrate and a gate line extending in a second direction intersecting with the first direction to intersect with the active area. The gate line comprises a first sidewall and a second sidewall opposite to each other. The first sidewall has a convex shape. The second sidewall has a concave shape.
