1. A method of fabricating a semiconductor device, the method comprising:
forming an active pattern including sacrificial layers and active layers that are alternately stacked on a substrate in a vertical direction;
forming a liner layer on the active pattern;
forming a recess in an upper portion of the active pattern;
forming a first semiconductor layer in the recess by performing a first selective epitaxial growth process, the first semiconductor layer being grown using the active layers and the liner layer as seed layers; and
forming a second semiconductor layer in the recess by performing a second selective epitaxial growth process.
