Abstract:
A semiconductor device includes a substrate including active patterns, a device isolation layer filling a trench between a pair of adjacent active patterns, a gate electrode on the active patterns, and a gate contact on the gate electrode. Each active pattern includes source/drain patterns at opposite sides of the gate electrode. The gate contact includes a first portion vertically overlapping with the gate electrode, and a second portion laterally extending from the first portion such that the second portion vertically overlaps with the device isolation layer and does not vertically overlap with the gate electrode. A bottom surface of the second portion is distal to the substrate in relation to a bottom surface of the first portion. The bottom surface of the second portion is distal to the substrate in relation to a top of a source/drain pattern that is adjacent to the second portion.

Claim (Index 1):
A semiconductor device comprising:\n a substrate including a plurality of active patterns; a device isolation layer filling a trench between a pair of adjacent active patterns of the plurality of active patterns; a gate electrode on the plurality of active patterns; and a gate contact on the gate electrode, wherein each active pattern of the plurality of active patterns includes a separate source/drain pattern at each side of opposite sides of the gate electrode, wherein the gate contact includes\n a first portion vertically overlapping with the gate electrode; and \n a second portion laterally extending from the first portion such that the second portion vertically overlaps with the device isolation layer and does not vertically overlap with the gate electrode, \n wherein a bottom surface of the second portion is distal to the substrate in relation to a bottom surface of the first portion, wherein the bottom surface of the second portion is distal to the substrate in relation to a top of a source/drain pattern of the plurality of source/drain patterns that is adjacent to the second portion.
