Methods of manufacturing semiconductor devices including gate patterns with sidewall spacers and capping patterns on the sidewall spacers

摘要

A method of forming a semiconductor device includes forming a gate electrode on a substrate, forming a first spacer on a sidewall of the gate electrode, forming a second spacer on the first spacer, and forming a capping pattern on top surfaces of the gate electrode, the first spacer and the second spacer. An outer sidewall of the second spacer is vertically aligned with a sidewall of the capping pattern.
