Abstract:
In a method of forming active patterns, first patterns are formed in a first direction on a cell region of a substrate, and a second pattern is formed on a peripheral circuit region of the substrate. The first pattern extends in a third direction crossing the first direction. First masks are formed in the first direction on the first patterns, and a second mask is formed on the second pattern. The first mask extends in a fourth direction crossing the third direction. Third masks are formed between the first masks extending in the fourth direction. The first and second patterns are etched using the first to third masks to form third and fourth patterns. Upper portions of the substrate are etched using the third and fourth patterns to form first and second active patterns in the cell and peripheral circuit regions.

Abstract:
A semiconductor device includes a substrate including a plurality of active areas. A conductive pattern is in contact with an active area. First and second conductive line structures face first and second side walls of the conductive pattern. An air spacer is disposed between the first and second side walls. The first and second conductive line structures include a conductive line and a conductive line mask layer. The conductive line mask layer includes a lower portion having a first width and an upper portion having a second width narrower than the first width. The air spacer includes a first air spacer disposed on a side wall of the lower portion of the conductive line mask layer and a second air spacer disposed on a side wall of the upper portion of the conductive line mask layer. The second air spacer is connected with the first air spacer.
