Semiconductor devices and methods of fabricating the same

Abstract

A semiconductor device is disclosed. The semiconductor device includes a gate electrode on a substrate and extending in a first direction, source/drain patterns spaced apart from each other, in a second direction, with the gate electrode interposed therebetween, a gate contact electrically connected to the gate electrode, and an active contact electrically connected to at least one of the source/drain patterns. The active contact includes a lower contact pattern electrically connected to the at least one of the source/drain patterns, the lower contact pattern having a first width in the first direction, and an upper contact pattern electrically connected to a top surface of the lower contact pattern, the upper contact pattern having a second width in the first direction that is smaller than the first width. The upper contact pattern and the gate contact horizontally overlap each other.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
