Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a gate formed over a substrate, a junction region formed in the substrate at both sides of the gate, and a depletion region expansion prevention layer surrounding sidewalls of the junction region in the substrate.

Abstract: A method for fabricating a semiconductor device, the method includes forming an isolation layer defining an active region over a substrate, forming a conductive layer over the substrate including the isolation layer, patterning the conductive layer to form a conductive pattern over the active region defined on both sides of a gate region, forming insulation spacers on a sidewall of the conductive pattern, forming a conductive layer for a gate electrode and a gate hard mask layer over the resulting structure including the conductive pattern, and patterning the gate hard mask layer and the conductive layer for the gate electrode to form a gate in the gate region of the substrate.

Abstract: A semiconductor device is fabricated having a stack gate structure where a first gate electrode, a second gate electrode and a gate hard mask are stacked. The stack gate structure secures a contact open margin while reducing a loss of the gate hard mask during a self-aligned contact (SAC) etching process of forming a landing plug contact. An intermediate connection layer is formed in a landing plug contact region between the first gate electrodes. Furthermore, the occurrence of a bridge between a gate and a contact can be prevented while forming the landing plug contact. A conductive material is filled into a gate region including a recess between intermediate connection layers to form the first gate electrode. The second gate electrode and the gate hard mask are formed during a gate-patterning process using a gate mask, even though misalignment occurs between the gate and the contact.
