Abstract

A semiconductor device includes an N-type fin and a P-type fin on a substrate, a first gate electrode configured to cross the N-type fin and cover a side surface of the N-type fin, a second gate electrode configured to cross the P-type fin and cover a side surface of the P-type fin, a first source/drain on the N-type fin adjacent to the first gate electrode, a second source/drain on the P-type fin adjacent to the second gate electrode, a buffer layer on a surface of the second source/drain and including a material different from the second source/drain, an interlayer insulating layer on the buffer layer and the first source/drain, a first plug connected to the first source/drain and passing through the interlayer insulating layer, and a second plug connected to the second source/drain and passing through the interlayer insulating layer and the buffer layer.
