In an embodiment, a memory device includes a semiconductor substrate having cell active regions and a peripheral active region. Plugs, including bit line contact plugs, a common source line, a peripheral gate interconnection contact plug, and peripheral metal interconnection contact plugs are formed of the same conductive layer through the same process. Also, metal interconnections including bit lines, a cell metal interconnection, a peripheral gate interconnection, and peripheral metal interconnections directly connected to the plugs may be formed of the same metal layer through the same process. Accordingly, the interconnection structure such as the plugs and the metal interconnections is simplified and thus the process of their formation is simplified.

A method of applying a wire voltage to a semiconductor device including a plurality of active regions and a field region insulating the plurality of active regions, wherein the field region includes a plurality of wires. The method includes applying an operating voltage required for an operation of the semiconductor device to at least one of the plurality of wires, and applying a voltage lower than the operating voltage to a wire adjacent to at least one of the plurality of active regions from among the plurality of wires. Thus, leakage current caused by an imaginary parasitic transistor due to a wire of the field region may be prevented.

Methods of forming electrically isolated active regions in semiconductor substrates include the steps of forming a plurality of trenches in a face of a semiconductor substrate to define an active region pedestal between first and second dummy region pedestals and then forming an electrically insulating layer on the active region and dummy region pedestals and in the trenches disposed therebetween. A mask is then patterned to expose a portion of the electrically insulating layer on the active region pedestal and then the exposed portion of the electrically insulating layer is etched so that a thickness of the electrically insulating layer on the active region pedestal is less than a thickness of the electrically insulating layer on the first and second dummy region pedestals. A step is then performed to planarize the electrically insulating layer to selectively expose the active region pedestal but not the first and second dummy region pedestals. This planarizing step also results in the formation of a uniform surface profile at the edges of the active region pedestal.
