Abstract
A semiconductor device and a method of forming the same are disclosed, which forms a low-dielectric-constant oxide film only at a peripheral part of a bit line conductive material, resulting in reduction in parasitic capacitance of the bit line. The semiconductor device includes a bit line formed over a semiconductor substrate, a first spacer formed over sidewalls of the bit line, and a second spacer formed over sidewalls of the first spacer, configured to have a dielectric constant lower than that of the first spacer.
Claims9
A semiconductor device comprising:
- a bit line disposed over a semiconductor substrate and including a bit line conductive layer and a hard mask layer;
- a first spacer disposed over sidewalls of the bit line;
- a second spacer disposed over the first spacer and configured to have a dielectric constant lower than that of the first spacer, wherein an upper portion of the second spacer is disposed in substantially the same level as an upper portion of the bit line conductive layer;
- and
- a third spacer disposed over the first spacer and the second spacer.
