  • Patent number: 5880527
    Abstract: A contact structure of a semiconductor device includes an impurity-doped region formed in the semiconductor substrate, a trench having a groove in the semiconductor substrate, with the groove being in contact with at least one side face of the impurity-doped region, a conductive layer buried in the trench, and a contact region formed on at least one side face of the impurity-doped region, for connecting the impurity-doped region and the conductive layer. Thus, the area occupied by a unit cell is reduced and integration density can be increased accordingly.
