Abstract
Integrated circuit devices are provided including an integrated circuit substrate and a gate on the integrated circuit substrate. The gate has sidewalls. A barrier layer spacer is provided on the sidewalls of the gate. A portion of the barrier layer spacer protrudes from the sidewalls of the gate exposing a lower surface of the barrier layer spacer that faces the integrated circuit substrate. A silicide layer is provided on the portion of the barrier layer spacer protruding from the sidewalls of the gate.
