In some exemplary embodiments, even though not shown in the drawings, the active pattern AP may be provided in plurality. In such embodiments, one gate electrode GE may intersect the plurality of active patterns AP. Each of the active patterns AP may include the first buffer pattern 102, the doped pattern 104, the second buffer pattern 106, and the channel pattern 108. Each of the active patterns AP may further include the barrier pattern 112. The doped patterns 104 of the plurality of active patterns AP may have the same conductivity type.
A gate insulating pattern GI may be provided between the gate electrode GE and the active pattern AP. The gate insulating pattern GI may extend along a bottom surface of the gate electrode GE in the second direction D2. According to exemplary embodiments, the gate insulating pattern GI may be in contact with the top surface of the active pattern AP and the top surface of the device isolation layer ST, as illustrated in
A capping pattern CAP may be provided on a top surface of the gate electrode GE, and gate spacers GS may be provided on both sidewalls of the gate electrode GE.
