  • Patent number: 9711505
    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a gate structure on a substrate. The gate structure includes a first gate insulation pattern, a conductive pattern for controlling a threshold voltage, a first gate electrode and a first mask sequentially stacked. A dummy gate structure is spaced apart from the gate electrode. The dummy gate structure includes a first stressor pattern including titanium oxide. Source/drain regions are adjacent to the gate structure. The source/drain regions are doped with p-type impurities. The first stressor pattern may apply a stress onto the channel region of a transistor, and consequently the transistor having good electrical characteristics may be obtained.

    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a substrate including at least one metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) region defined by a device isolation layer and having an active pattern extending in a first direction on the MOSFET region, a gate electrode intersecting the active pattern on the substrate and extending in a second direction intersecting the first direction, and a first gate separation pattern adjacent to the MOSFET region when viewed from a plan view and dividing the gate electrode into segments spaced apart from each other in the second direction. The first gate separation pattern has a tensile strain when the MOSFET region is a P-channel. MOSFET (PMOSFET) region. The first gate separation pattern has a compressive strain when the MOSFET region is an N-channel MOSFET (NMOSFET) region.
