  • Patent number: 9484335
    Abstract: A method for fabricating a semiconductor device includes forming active regions which are separated by a plurality of first trenches, forming supports which fill the first trenches; etching the active regions and defining second trenches which are shallower than the first trenches, forming spacers on sidewalls of the second trenches, etching bottoms of the second trenches and defining third trenches, forming punch-through preventing patterns which fill lower portions of the third trenches, etching sidewalls which are not protected by the punch-through preventing patterns and the spacers, and forming recessed sidewalls which face each other, and forming buried bit lines in the recessed sidewalls.

  • Patent number: 8836001
    Abstract: A method for fabricating a semiconductor device includes forming at least one body having two sidewalls by vertically etching a semiconductor substrate, forming a protective layer having open parts that expose portions of the both sidewalls of the body, forming a buffer layer that fills the open parts, and forming a buried bit line in the body by siliciding the buffer layer and a portion of the body between the buffer layer.
