摘要: A method of manufacturing a semiconductor memory device includes forming bit line structures extending in a first horizontal direction on a substrate, and insulating spacer structures covering opposite sidewalls of each bit line structure, forming a preliminary buried contact material layer and a mold layer to respectively fill lower and upper portions of a space between a pair of insulating spacer structures, patterning the mold layer and the preliminary buried contact material layer into mold patterns spaced apart from each other in a second horizontal direction and buried contacts spaced apart from each other in the second horizontal direction, forming insulating fences among the mold patterns separated from each other and among the buried contacts separated from each other, removing the mold patterns to expose the buried contacts, and forming landing pads on the exposed buried contacts, each landing pad connected to a corresponding one of the exposed buried contacts.

摘要: A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device may include forming word lines in word line trenches on a substrate, removing a portion of the substrate located between a pair of the word lines to form a direct contact hole, forming on an inner wall of the direct contact hole a sacrificial liner structure that includes a first liner, a sacrificial layer, and a second liner, forming a preliminary direct contact in the direct contact hole, removing the sacrificial layer, while leaving the first and second liners, to form an air space between the first and second liners, forming a bit line stack that covers an upper surface the air space on the preliminary direct contact, patterning the bit line stack to form bit lines, and removing side portions of the second liner and the preliminary direct contact in the direct contact hole to form a direct contact.

摘要: A semiconductor device includes a gate structure on a substrate, first and second spacer structures on first and second sidewalls, respectively, opposite to each other of the gate structure, and first and second source/drain layers at upper portions of the substrate adjacent to the first and second sidewalls, respectively, of the gate structure. An upper surface of the gate structure has a height with reference to an upper surface of the substrate being a base level decreasing from a central portion to the first sidewall and substantially constant from the central portion to the second sidewall.

摘要: A semiconductor device includes a substrate including a first region and a second region, a bit line structure that extends over the first region and the second region, an upper spacer structure on a first sidewall of the bit line structure on the first region of the substrate, and an insulation spacer structure on the first sidewall of the bit line structure on the second region of the bit line structure. The upper spacer structure may include first, second and third upper spacers sequentially stacked on the sidewall of the bit line structure in a first horizontal direction. The insulation spacer structure may include first, second, third and fourth insulation spacers sequentially stacked on the sidewall of the bit line structure in the first horizontal direction.
