Abstract: A semiconductor device, having a recessed gate and asymmetric dopant regions, comprises a semiconductor substrate having a trench with a first sidewall and a second sidewall, the heights of which are different from each other, a gate insulating layer pattern disposed on the semiconductor substrate, a gate stack disposed on the semiconductor such that the gate stack protrudes from the surface of the semiconductor substrate while the gate stack fills the trench, and first and second dopant regions disposed at the upper part of the semiconductor substrate adjacent to the first and second sidewalls of the trench, respectively, such that the first and second dopant regions have different steps.
