  • Publication number: 20250056794
    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a substrate including a cell region and a peripheral circuit region, a peripheral circuit gate line on the peripheral circuit region of the substrate, an interlayer insulating layer surrounding the peripheral circuit gate line, a contact plug passing through the interlayer insulating layer to be connected to the substrate, a wiring pad on the contact plug, and a metal via being in contact with the wiring pad, wherein a first sidewall and a second sidewall of the contact plug form acute angles with an upper surface of the contact plug, and a first sidewall and a second sidewall of the wiring pad form acute angles with a lower surface of the wiring pad.

  • Patent number: 11574915
    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes first bit lines disposed on a substrate. Buried contacts disposed among first bit lines and connected to the substrate are provided. Landing pads are disposed on the buried contacts. Second bit lines are disposed on a peripheral area of the substrate. Upper surfaces of the second bit lines and the landing pads are coplanar with each other. First insulating patterns are disposed among the second bit lines. Second insulating patterns are disposed among the landing pads. Cell capacitors connected to the landing pads are disposed. The first insulating patterns include an insulating layer different from at least one insulating layer of the second insulating patterns.
