    Abstract: A semiconductor memory device is provided. A cell array includes a DRAM cell connected to one of a pair of bit lines. A bit line sense amplifier is coupled to the pair of bit lines. The bit line sense amplifier discharges a low-level bit line of the pair of bit lines toward a ground level and clamps the low-level bit line to a boosted sense ground voltage in response to a control signal. A sense amplifier control logic generates the control signal having a pulse interval. The low-level bit line is discharged toward the ground level for the pulse interval and after the pulse interval ends, the low-level bit line is clamped to the boosted sense ground voltage.

    Abstract: A semiconductor memory device includes active sections that include first and second impurity regions and are defined by a device isolation layer. Word lines extend in a first direction on the active sections. Intermediate dielectric patterns cover top surfaces of the word lines. Bit-line structures extend on the word lines in a second direction intersecting the first direction. Contact plugs are disposed between the bit-line structures and are connected to the second impurity regions. Data storage elements are disposed on the contact plugs. The intermediate dielectric pattern includes a capping part that covers the top surfaces of the word lines and is buried in the substrate. Fence parts extend between the bit-line structures from the capping part.

    Abstract: Disclosed are semiconductor devices and their fabrication methods. The method includes forming an etching target on a substrate including cell and key regions, forming lower and upper mask layers on the etching target, performing photolithography to form an upper mask pattern including a hole on the cell region, a preliminary key pattern on the key region, a bar pattern on the key region, and a trench between the preliminary key pattern and the bar pattern, forming pillar and dam patterns filling the hole and the trench, performing photolithography to remove the upper mask pattern except for the bar pattern, using the pillar pattern, the dam pattern, and the bar pattern as an etching mask to form a lower mask pattern, and using the lower mask pattern as an etching mask to form an etching target pattern on the cell region and a key pattern on the key region.
