Abstract: A semiconductor device a first fin-shaped pattern provided at a first surface of a substrate and extending in a second direction, a first source/drain pattern disposed on the first fin-shaped pattern and connected thereto, a first source/drain contact disposed on the first source/drain pattern and connected thereto, a buried conductive pattern extending through the substrate and connected to the first source/drain contact, a contact connection via disposed between the first source/drain contact and the buried conductive pattern. The contact connection via is directly connected to the first source/drain contact and a back wiring line disposed on a second surface of the substrate and connected to the buried conductive pattern. A width of the contact connection via increases as the contact connection via extends away from the second surface. A width of the first source/drain contact decreases as the first source/drain contact extends away from the second surface of the substrate.
