Abstract

A semiconductor device includes a substrate. A first channel pattern is disposed on the substrate. The first channel pattern includes a first side and a second side opposite to each other in a first direction. A first gate electrode is disposed on the first side of the first channel pattern. A first source/drain electrode is disposed on the first side of the first channel pattern. A second source/drain electrode is disposed on the second side of the first channel pattern. The first gate electrode overlaps the second source/drain electrode in the first direction.
