Abstract
A semiconductor device includes a stressor and an insulating pattern. A device isolation layer is formed to define an active area on a substrate. A first gate electrode is formed on the active area. A second gate electrode is formed on the device isolation layer. A trench is formed in the active area between the first gate electrode and the second gate electrode. A stressor is formed in the trench. A cavity formed between the stressor and the device isolation layer and adjacent to the second gate electrode is disposed. An insulating pattern is formed in the cavity.
