Abstract

Example embodiments relate to methods of fabricating a semiconductor device having a metal-semiconductor compound region. A method according to example embodiments may include forming semiconductor pillars on a semiconductor substrate. The semiconductor substrate between the semiconductor pillars may be etched to form a trench region. A dielectric isolation pattern partially filling the trench region may be formed, and dielectric sidewall spacers may be formed on sidewalls of the semiconductor pillars. Metal-semiconductor compound regions may be formed on sidewalls of a portion of the trench region that is not filled by the isolation pattern.
