Abstract
A semiconductor IC structure includes a substrate including at least a memory cell region and a peripheral region defined thereon, a plurality of memory cells formed in the memory cell region, at least an active device formed in the peripheral region, a plurality of contact plugs formed in the memory cell region, and at least a bit line formed in the memory cell region. The contact plugs are physically and electrically connected to the bit line. More important, bottom surfaces of the contact plugs are lower a surface of the substrate.
