Claim 0:
1. An integrated circuit device comprising:
a fin-type active region disposed on a substrate and extending in a first horizontal direction;
a gate line disposed on the fin-type active region and extending in a second horizontal direction intersecting the first horizontal direction, the gate line comprising:
a connection protrusion portion comprising a protrusion top surface at a first vertical level from the substrate, and
a main gate portion comprising a recess top surface extending in the second horizontal direction from the connection protrusion portion, the recess top surface being at a second vertical level lower than the first vertical level;

a gate contact disposed on the gate line and connected to the connection protrusion portion;
a source/drain region disposed on the fin-type active region and disposed adjacent to the gate line; and
a source/drain contact disposed on the source/drain region, the source/drain contact comprising an uppermost surface at a third vertical level higher than the first vertical level.
