摘要:
A semiconductor memory device includes a substrate having active regions extending in a first direction and separated therealong by a device isolation layer, and conductive word lines extending on the substrate in a second direction intersecting the first direction. Ones of the word lines extending between the active regions define isolation gate lines, which are insulated from the active regions by the device isolation layer. Edges of the active regions adjacent the isolation gate lines respectively include first and second corners that are spaced apart from an adjacent one of the isolation gate lines by substantially equal distances. Related fabrication methods are also discussed.
