Abstract: An integrated circuit (IC) device includes: a fin-type active area protruding from a substrate and extending in a first horizontal direction; a first nanosheet disposed above an upper surface of the fin-type active area with a first separation space therebetween; a second nanosheet disposed above the first nanosheet with a second separation space therebetween; a gate line extending on the substrate in a second horizontal direction intersecting the first horizontal direction, at least a portion of the gate line being disposed in the second separation space; and a bottom insulation structure disposed in the first separation space.

Abstract: A semiconductor device includes channels, a gate structure, and a source/drain layer. The channels are disposed at a plurality of levels, respectively, and spaced apart from each other in a vertical direction on an upper surface of a substrate. The gate structure is disposed on the substrate, at least partially surrounds a surface of each of the channels, and extends in a first direction substantially parallel to the upper surface of the substrate. The source/drain layer is disposed at each of opposite sides of the gate structure in a second direction substantially parallel to the upper surface of the substrate and substantially perpendicular to the first direction and is connected to sidewalls of the channels. A length of the gate structure in the second direction changes along the first direction at a first height from the upper surface of the substrate in the vertical direction.
