Abstract

A semiconductor device is provided. The semiconductor device includes: an active pattern provided on a substrate and extending in a first direction; a pair of source/drain patterns provided on the active pattern and spaced apart from each other in the first direction; a plurality of channel layers vertically stacked and spaced apart from each other on the active pattern between the pair of source/drain patterns; a gate electrode extending in a second direction between the pair of source/drain patterns, the gate electrode being provided on the active pattern and surrounding the plurality of channel layers, and the second direction intersecting the first direction; and a gate spacer provided between the plurality of channel layers, and between the gate electrode and the pair of source/drain patterns. The gate spacer includes a plurality of first spacer patterns and a plurality of second spacer patterns that are alternately stacked on sidewalls of the pair of source/drain patterns.
