A semiconductor device having a buried gate line with a shaped gate trench and a method of fabricating the same are disclosed. The semiconductor device includes a trench isolation layer provided in a semiconductor substrate to define a multi-surfaced active region/channel. A gate line extending to the trench isolation layer fills a portion of the gate trench. The gate trench is formed with a series of depressions to accommodate peaks in the channel. The combination of depressions/peaks operate to increase the effective area of the channel, thereby enabling smaller channel semiconductor devices to be formed without increasing the width thereof.

Methods of fabricating semiconductor devices capable of maintaining a liner on both sidewalls of an active region overlapping a gate are provided. An isolation trench defining an active region is formed in a semiconductor substrate. A liner is formed on sidewalls of the active region. An isolation layer filling the isolation trench is formed. A hard mask pattern is formed on the semiconductor substrate having the liner and the isolation layer. A gate trench crossing the active region is formed using the hard mask pattern as an etching mask. A gate is formed in the gate trench. After forming the gate, the hard mask pattern is removed. A gate capping pattern is formed on the gate.

An integrated circuit device includes a substrate including a trench therein and a conductive plug wire pattern in the trench. The conductive plug wire pattern includes a recessed portion that exposes portions of opposing sidewalls of the trench, and an integral plug portion that protrudes from a surface of the recessed portion to provide an electrical connection to at least one other conductive wire pattern on a different level of metallization. A surface of the plug portion may protrude to a substantially same level as a surface of the substrate adjacent to and outside the trench, and the surface of the recessed portion may be below the surface of the substrate outside the trench. Related fabrication methods are also discussed.

There are provided a semiconductor device having a vertical transistor and a method of fabricating the same. The method includes preparing a semiconductor substrate having a cell region and a peripheral circuit region. Island-shaped vertical gate structures two-dimensionally aligned along a row direction and a column direction are formed on the substrate of the cell region.

The bit line separation trench is formed in parallel with the column direction of the vertical gate structures. A bit line separation insulating layer and a peripheral circuit isolation layer are formed inside the bit line separation trench and the peripheral circuit trench, respectively.
