  • Patent number: 11678479
    Abstract: A semiconductor device, a method of fabricating the semiconductor device and a memory are disclosed. In the provided semiconductor device, bit line contact plugs partially reside on insulating material layers in gate trenches in active areas and thus can come into sufficient contact with the active areas. This ensures good electrical transmission between the bit line contact plugs and the active areas even when there are internal voids in the bit line contact plugs. Such bit line contact plugs allowed to contain internal voids can be fabricated in an easier and faster manner, thus allowing a significantly enhanced memory fabrication throughput.
