Abstract

A semiconductor device includes a lower structure including a lower conductor, an upper structure having an opening exposing the lower conductor on the lower structure, and a connection structure filling the opening and connected to the lower conductor. The connection structure includes a first tungsten layer covering an inner surface of the opening and defining a recess region in the opening, and a second tungsten layer filling the recess region on the first tungsten layer. A grain size of the second tungsten layer in an upper portion of the connection structure is greater than a grain size of the second tungsten layer in a lower portion of the connection structure.
