Abstract:
A semiconductor device includes first semiconductor patterns vertically stacked on a substrate and vertically spaced apart from each other, and a first gate electrode on the first semiconductor patterns. The first gate electrode comprises a first work function metal pattern on a top surface, a bottom surface, and sidewalls of respective ones of the first semiconductor patterns, a barrier pattern on the first work function metal pattern, and a first electrode pattern on the barrier pattern. The first gate electrode has a first part between adjacent ones of the first semiconductor patterns. The barrier pattern comprises a silicon-containing metal nitride layer. The barrier pattern and the first electrode pattern are spaced apart from the first part.

Claim (Index 7):
The semiconductor device of  claim 3 , wherein the second work function metal pattern comprises work function metal layers and an intermediate layer between the work function metal layers,\n wherein respective ones of the work function metal layers comprise a second metal nitride layer comprising silicon, and wherein the intermediate layer comprises a silicon layer.
