Abstract

A semiconductor device and a method of manufacturing the same are disclosed, which may improve the operating performance of a multi-gate transistor in a highly scaled integrated circuit device. The semiconductor device includes a first active fin unit protruding on a first region of a semiconductor substrate and extending along a first direction. The first active fin unit includes at least one first active fin having left and right profiles, which are symmetric to each other about a first center line perpendicular to a top surface of the semiconductor substrate on a cut surface perpendicular to the first direction. A second active fin unit protrudes on a second region of the semiconductor substrate and includes two second active fins, each having a left and right profiles, which are asymmetric to each other about a second center line perpendicular to the top surface of the semiconductor substrate on a cut surface.
