  • Patent number: 8975140
    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes passing gates. In the semiconductor device, a passing gate formed in a device isolation film is vertically positioned at a deeper and lower level than an operation gate formed in an active region defined by the device isolation film such that the passing gate does not overlap with a junction region. A step difference is formed in a storage node junction region, and thus a contact area between a storage node contact and the storage node junction region is increased, resulting in the improvement of operational characteristics of the semiconductor device.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8866234
    Abstract: A semiconductor device and a method for manufacturing the same are disclosed. A recess gate structure is formed between an overlapping region between a gate and a source/drain so as to suppress increase in gate induced drain leakage (GIDL), and a gate insulation film is more thickly deposited in a region having weak GIDL, thereby reducing GIDL and thus improving refresh characteristics due to leakage current.
