Assignee: SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS CO., LTD.
Field: Semiconductors (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 17:
18. A semiconductor device, comprising:
a first active pattern extending in a first direction;
a second active pattern extending in the first direction;
a field insulating film surrounding a part of side surfaces of the first and second active patterns on the substrate;
a first gate electrode provided on the first and second active patterns and extending in a second direction intersecting the first direction;
a first cut region provided on a first side surface of the first active pattern opposite to the second active pattern and extending in the first direction to cut the gate electrode; and
a second cut region provided on a second side surface of the second active pattern opposite to the first active pattern and extending in the first direction to cut the gate electrode,
wherein the first and second active patterns protrude upwardly above the field insulating film,
wherein a first width of the first cut region in the second direction at a top surface of the first gate electrode is different from a second width of the second cut region in the second direction at the top surface of the first gate electrode,
wherein a first length of the first cut region from a bottom surface of the first cut region to the top surface of the first gate electrode is different from a second length of the second cut region from a bottom surface of the second cut region to the top surface of the first gate electrode, and
wherein the first length of the first cut region and the second length of the second cut are higher than a third length from a top surface of the field insulating film to the top surface of the first gate electrode.
