A method includes: forming a sacrificial gate structure on the active region; forming a spacer structure including a first spacer, a second spacer, and an air-gap spacer, the air-gap spacer capped by bending an upper portion of the second spacer toward an upper portion of the first spacer; forming an insulating structure on the sides of the spacer structure; forming a gap region; and forming a gate structure including a gate dielectric layer, a gate electrode, and a gate capping layer in the gap region. The upper portion of the second spacer is in physical contact with the upper portion of the first spacer on a contact surface, and a lowermost end of the contact surface is on a level higher than an upper surface of the gate electrode with the substrate being a reference base level.
