    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a substrate including an active region, a first bitline structure and a second bitline structure that extend side by side on the substrate, a storage node contact electrically connected to the active region between the first and second bitline structures, a lower landing pad between the first and second bitline structures and on the storage node contact, an upper landing pad in contact with the first bitline structure and electrically connected to the lower landing pad, and a capping insulating layer. A lower surface of the upper landing pad in contact with the first bitline structure and a lower surface of the capping insulating layer in contact with the lower landing pad each include a portion in which a horizontal separation distance is increased from the adjacent upper landing pad in a direction toward the substrate.

    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device includes forming a plurality of first trenches in a substrate. A plurality of first filling layers is formed that fills the first trenches and have protrusions extending to protrude from the substrate. Spacers are formed on sidewalls of the protrusions of the first filling layers. The spacers expose portions of the substrate between adjacent first filling layers. A plurality of second trenches is formed around the first trenches by etching the portions of the substrate exposed by the spacers. A plurality of second filling layers is formed that fills the second trenches. All of the first filling layers and the spacers are removed. A gate material layer is formed that conformally covers inner walls of the first trenches. A pair of gate structures is formed in each of the first trenches by separating the gate material layer.
