A semiconductor device may include a gate insulating layer on a semiconductor substrate, a polysilicon layer doped with impurities on the gate insulating layer, an interface reaction preventing layer on the polysilicon layer, a barrier layer on the interface reaction preventing layer, and a conductive metal layer on the barrier layer. The interface reaction preventing layer may reduce or prevent the occurrence of a chemical interfacial reaction with the barrier layer, and the barrier layer may reduce or prevent the diffusion of impurities doped to the polysilicon layer. The interface reaction preventing layer may include a metal-rich metal silicide having a metal mole fraction greater than a silicon mole fraction, so that the interface reaction preventing layer may reduce or prevent the dissociation of the barrier layer at higher temperatures. Thus, a barrier characteristic of a poly-metal gate electrode may be improved and surface agglomerations may be reduced or prevented.
