Abstract
A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor substrate including multiple active regions having a common conductivity type and separate, respective gate electrodes on the separate active regions. Different high-k dielectric layers may be between the separate active regions and the respective gate electrodes on the active regions. Different quantities of high-k dielectric layers may be between the separate active regions and the respective gate electrodes on the active regions. The different high-k dielectric layers may include different work-function adjusting materials.
