Abstract

A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device is disclosed. A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device includes forming a device isolation structure for defining an active region, forming a buried word line traversing the active region, forming one or more insulation film patterns over the buried word line, forming a line pattern including a first conductive material at a position between the insulation film patterns, and forming a plurality of storage node contacts (SNCs) by isolating the line pattern. As a result, when forming a bit line contact and a storage node contact, a fabrication margin is increased.

Claims (13)

1. A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device comprising:

providing a substrate having a buried gate;

forming an insulating pattern over the buried gate;

forming a storage node contact having a line type at a first side of the insulating pattern in parallel to the insulating pattern;

forming an insulating filling pattern having a line type in perpendicular to the storage node contact, thus dividing the storage node contact; and

removing only a portion of the insulating filling pattern and the storage node contact thus forming a bit line contact hole.

2. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the insulating filling pattern expands over an active region and a device isolation region in perpendicular to the buried gate.

3. The method of claim 2 , the method further comprising:

forming a conductive filling pattern in the bit line contact hole to obtain a bit line contact pattern.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein an active region of the substrate includes a drain region and a source region at the first and second sides of the buried gate respectively, and the insulating pattern defines the drain and the source regions.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the active region is arranged angled to the insulating pattern so that the insulating pattern can define the drain and the source regions.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the bit line contact hole has an island type, a critical dimension of the bit line contact hole being larger than a critical dimension of the insulating filling pattern.
