Abstract

A semiconductor device may include active patterns extended in a first direction and spaced apart from each other in the first direction, a device isolation layer defining the active patterns, an insulating structure provided between the active patterns and between the device isolation layer, and a gate structure disposed on the insulating structure and extended in a second direction crossing the first direction. The gate structure may include an upper portion and a lower portion. The lower portion of the gate structure may be enclosed by the insulating structure.
