    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes an alignment key on a substrate. The alignment key includes a first sub-alignment key pattern with a first conductive pattern, a second conductive pattern, and a capping dielectric pattern that are sequentially stacked on the substrate, an alignment key trench that penetrates at least a portion of the first sub-alignment key pattern, and a lower conductive pattern in the alignment key trench. The alignment key trench includes an upper trench that is provided in the capping dielectric pattern that has a first width, and a lower trench that extends downward from the upper trench and that has a second width less than the first width. The lower conductive pattern includes sidewall conductive patterns that are separately disposed on opposite sidewalls of the lower trench.

    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a device isolation pattern defining active portions extending in a first direction, a first bit line intersecting the active portions in a second direction, a second bit line spaced apart from the first bit line in a third direction, bit line capping patterns on the bit lines, a storage node contact between the bit lines, a diffusion barrier layer on sidewalls of bit lines and on a top of the storage node contact, and a landing pad on the diffusion barrier layer. A first upper end of the diffusion barrier layer on the sidewall of the first bit line is lower than the bit line capping patterns, and a second upper end of the diffusion barrier layer on the sidewall of the second bit line is lower than the first upper end.
