Abstract
A semiconductor device comprises: a semiconductor substrate including an active region defined as a device isolation film; a bit line hole disposed over the top portion of the semiconductor substrate; an oxide film disposed at sidewalls of the bit line hole; and a bit line conductive layer buried in the bit line hole including the oxide film. A bit line spacer is formed with an oxide film, thereby reducing a parasitic capacitance. A storage node contact is formed to have a line type, thereby securing a patterning margin. A storage node contact plug is formed with polysilicon having a different concentration, thereby reducing leakage current.
