Abstract

A semiconductor device includes a fin structure which vertically protrudes from a substrate and extends in a first direction parallel to a top surface of the substrate. The fin structure includes a lower pattern and an active pattern vertically protruding from a top surface of the lower pattern. The top surface of the lower pattern includes a flat portion substantially parallel to the top surface of the substrate. The lower pattern includes a first sidewall extending in the first direction and a second sidewall extending in a second direction crossing the first direction. The first sidewall is inclined relative to the top surface of the substrate at a first angle greater than a second angle corresponding to the second sidewall that is inclined relative to the top surface of the substrate.
