  • Patent number: 9153654
    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes an active body having two sidewalls facing each other in a lateral direction, a junction formed in a sidewall of the two sidewalls, a dielectric layer having an open portion to expose the junction and covering the active body, a junction extension portion having a buried region to fill the open portion, and a bit line coupled to the junction extension portion.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 27, 2014
    Date of Patent: October 6, 2015
    Assignee: SK Hynix Inc.
    Inventors: Sang-Do Lee, Hae-Jung Lee, Kyung-Bo Ko

  • Patent number: 8546218
    Abstract: A method for fabricating a semiconductor device includes etching a substrate to form a plurality of bodies isolated by a first trench, forming a buried bit line gap-filling a portion of the first trench, etching the top portions of the bodies to form a plurality of pillars isolated by a plurality of second trenches extending across the first trench, forming a passivation layer gap-filling a portion of the second trenches, forming an isolation layer that divides each of the second trenches into isolation trenches over the passivation layer, and filling a portion of the isolation trenches to form a buried word line extending in a direction crossing over the buried bit line.

  • Publication number: 20120108073
    Abstract: A method for fabricating a semiconductor device includes forming a plurality of patterns, forming an etch target layer to gap-fill the plurality of patterns, forming an impurity region in the etch target layer, and performing an etch-back process on the etch target layer using the impurity region as an etch stop barrier.
