Claim 16:
17. The integrated circuit device as claimed in claim 11, further comprising:
a gate structure along a second horizontal direction crossing the first horizontal direction, the gate structure surrounding the plurality of nanosheets; and
a device isolation layer on opposite sidewalls of the fin-type active area,
wherein the gate structure includes:
a gate line along the second horizontal direction on the fin-type active area and on the device isolation layer;
a gate dielectric layer surrounding the gate line; and
an outer insulating spacer covering opposite sidewalls of the gate line on the fin-type active area and on the device isolation layer,
wherein the outer blocking layer has a first contact surface in contact with the gate structure, and
wherein the inner blocking layer has a second contact surface in contact with the gate structure, an area of the second contact surface being greater than an area of the first contact surface.
