Abstract: Methods of fabricating semiconductor devices including providing a substrate having a channel region defined therein; forming an insulation layer on the substrate; forming a gate trench for forming a gate electrode having a sidewall portion, a bottom portion and an edge portion between the sidewall portion and the bottom portion on the insulation layer, the gate electrode trench overlapping the channel region; and forming a gate electrode in the gate electrode trench. Forming the gate electrode includes forming a first metal layer pattern in the gate electrode trench and forming a second metal layer pattern on the first metal layer pattern.
