Abstract: A semiconductor device and a method for manufacturing the same are disclosed, in which a buried gate region is formed, a nitride film spacer is formed at sidewalls of the buried gate region, and the spacer is etched in an active region in such a manner that the spacer remains in a device isolation region. Thus, if a void occurs in the device isolation region, the spacer can prevent a short-circuit from occurring between the device isolation region and its neighboring gates.

Abstract: A semiconductor device and a method for forming the same are disclosed. In a method for forming the semiconductor substrate including a cell region and a peripheral region, a guard pattern defined by an epitaxial growth layer located at the edge part between the cell region and the peripheral region is formed. As the guard pattern is not damaged by an oxidation process, a bias leakage path between an N-well bias and a P-well bias of the peripheral region is prevented from occurring Reliability of a gate oxide film may be increased, resulting in an increased production yield of the semiconductor device and implementation of stable voltage and current characteristics.

Abstract: A semiconductor device is disclosed that stably ensures an area of a storage node contact connected to a junction region in an active region of the semiconductor device and is thus able to improve the electrical properties of the semiconductor device and enhance a yield, and a method for fabricating the same. The semiconductor device includes a semiconductor substrate having an active region including a gate, a storage node contact region, and an isolation region that defines the active region. A passing gate and an isolation structure surrounding the passing gate are formed in the isolation region. A silicon epitaxial layer is selectively formed over an upper portion of the passing gate to expand the storage node contact region.
