Abstract

Integrated circuit devices and methods of forming the same are provided. The methods of forming an integrated circuit device may include forming a first insulating layer and a first conductive layer on a substrate and selectively forming a second insulating layer on the first insulating layer. The first insulating layer may include a recess, and the first conductive layer may be in the recess of the first insulating layer. The second insulating layer may include a first opening exposing a surface of the first conductive layer. The methods may also include forming a third insulating layer on the second insulating layer and the first conductive layer, forming a second opening extending through the third insulating layer and exposing the first conductive layer, and forming a second conductive layer in the second opening.
