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

Claim 7:
8. A semiconductor device, comprising:
first and second active patterns disposed on first and second regions of a substrate, respectively, wherein each of the first and second active patterns protrudes from the substrate and extends in a first direction substantially parallel to an upper surface of the substrate;
an isolation pattern disposed on the substrate and that covers lower sidewalls of the first and second active patterns;
a first gate structure that extends in a sedond direction on the first active patterns and the isolation pattern, wherein the second direction is substantially parallel to the upper surface of the substrate and crosses the first direction;
a second gate structure that extends in the second direction on the second drive patterns and the isolation pattern;
a first division pattern structure disposed on the first region of the substrate, wherein the first division pattern structure contacts a sidewall of an end portion in the second direction of the first gate structure; and
a second division pattern disposed on the second region of the substrate, wherein the second division pattern contacts a sidewall of an end portion in the second direction of the second gate structure,
wherein an uppermost surface of the first gate structure is higher than an uppermost surface of the second gate structure, and
wherein the upper surface of the portion of the first gate structure on the sidewall of the first division pattern structure is lower than an upper surface of the first division pattern structure.
