Abstract: A semiconductor device and a method for forming the same are disclosed. The semiconductor device includes a semiconductor substrate that includes a cell region and a peripheral circuit area. The method for forming the semiconductor includes forming a guard pattern of an insulation material. The guard pattern is located at an edge part between the cell region and the peripheral circuit region and is buried in the semiconductor substrate. As a result, the semiconductor device prevents oxidation of the guard pattern, such that a cell gate oxidation integrity (GOI) failure is improved and an IDD failure is prevented from being generated.

Abstract: A method for fabricating a semiconductor apparatus including a buried gate removes factors deteriorating the operational reliability of the semiconductor device such as the electrical connection between a contact and a word line, and increases a processing margin when forming the contact disposed on a source/drain region. The method includes forming a recess in a semiconductor substrate, forming a gate in a lower portion of the recess, forming a first insulation layer over the gate, growing silicon over the first insulation layer in the recess, and depositing a second insulation layer over the semiconductor substrate and in the remaining portion of the recess.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device includes forming a bulb-type trench separated from a surrounding gate and forming a buried bit line in the bulb-type trench, thereby preventing electric short of a word line and the buried bit line. A semiconductor device includes a vertical pillar formed over a semiconductor substrate, a surrounding gate formed outside the vertical pillar, and a buried bit line separated from the surrounding gate.
