Abstract

A semiconductor device includes an insulating layer on a substrate, a first channel pattern on the insulating layer and contacting the insulating layer, second channel patterns on the first channel pattern and being horizontally spaced apart from each other, a gate pattern on the insulating layer and surrounding the second channel patterns, and a source/drain pattern between the second channel patterns.

Claims (48)

1. A semiconductor device, comprising:

an insulating layer on a substrate;

a first channel pattern on the insulating layer, the first channel pattern contacting the insulating layer;

second channel patterns on the first channel pattern, the second channel patterns being horizontally spaced apart from each other;

a gate pattern on the insulating layer, the gate pattern surrounding the second channel patterns; and

a source/drain pattern between the second channel patterns.

2. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the gate pattern comprises:

a conductive pattern on a top surface and sidewalls of the first channel pattern and on top surfaces, bottom surfaces and sidewalls of the second channel patterns; and

a gate insulating layer between the conductive pattern and the first and second channel patterns.

3. The device according to claim 2 , wherein the gate insulating layer extends on a top surface of the insulating layer.

4. The device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

spacers between the gate pattern and the source/drain pattern, the spacers being vertically spaced apart from each other with a respective one of the second channel patterns interposed therebetween.

5. The device according to claim 4 , wherein the spacers include,

a first spacer that is selectively between the first channel pattern and lowermost ones of the second channel patterns and between the second channel patterns, and

a second spacer on uppermost ones of the second channel patterns, the second spacer extending in a direction.

6. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the first channel pattern is interposed between the insulating layer and the source/drain pattern.

7. The device according to claim 6 , wherein the first channel pattern includes a first part under the source/drain pattern and a second part under the second channel patterns,

wherein a thickness of the first part is less than a thickness of the second part.

8. The device according to claim 6 , wherein the first channel pattern includes a first part under the source/drain pattern and a second part under the second channel patterns,

wherein a thickness of the first part is substantially equal to a thickness of the second part.

9. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the source/drain pattern contacts the first channel pattern and the second channel patterns.

10. A semiconductor device, comprising:

an insulating layer on a substrate;

channel patterns on the insulating layer and being vertically spaced apart from each other, the channel patterns including a first channel pattern corresponding to a lowermost one of the channel patterns relative to the insulating layer, and a second channel pattern on the first channel pattern, the first channel pattern contacting the insulating layer;

a gate pattern on the insulating layer, the gate pattern surrounding the second channel pattern; and

a source/drain pattern at a side of the gate pattern,

wherein a bottom surface of the first channel pattern is positioned at substantially the same level as a bottom surface of the source/drain pattern relative to a top surface of the substrate.

11. The device according to claim 10 , wherein the source/drain pattern contacts the insulating layer.

12. The device according to claim 10 , further comprising:

spacers on opposite sidewalls of the gate pattern,

wherein a sum of a thickness of the gate pattern and thicknesses of the spacers is substantially equal to a width of each of the first and second channel patterns.

13. The device according to claim 10 , wherein a width of the first channel pattern is substantially equal to a width of the second channel pattern.

14. The device according to claim 10 , wherein the gate pattern comprises:

a conductive pattern; and

a gate insulating layer between the conductive pattern and the first and second channel patterns,

wherein the conductive pattern is disposed on a top surface and sidewalls of the first channel pattern and on a top surface, a bottom surface and sidewalls of the second channel pattern.

15. A semiconductor device comprising:

a first channel pattern contacting an insulating layer;

a gate pattern on the first channel pattern;

a source/drain pattern at a side of the gate pattern; and

second channel patterns with gate-all-around structures on the second channel pattern,

wherein the source/drain pattern is on the first channel pattern such that the source/drain pattern does not contact the insulating layer.

16. The semiconductor device of claim 15 , wherein the source/drain pattern contacts the insulating layer.

17. The semiconductor device of claim 15 , wherein the gate pattern includes,

a conductive pattern; and

a gate insulating layer between the conductive pattern and the channel patterns.

18. The semiconductor device of claim 15 , wherein the first channel pattern includes a first part under the source/drain pattern and a second part under the gate pattern,

wherein a thickness of the first part is less than a thickness of the second part.
