Abstract

The present invention provides a semiconductor device, the semiconductor device includes a substrate, at least one bit line is disposed on the substrate, a rounding hard mask is disposed on the bit line, and the rounding hard mask defines a top portion and a bottom portion, and at least one storage node contact plug, located adjacent to the bit line, the storage node contact structure plug includes at least one conductive layer, from a cross-sectional view, the storage node contact plug defines a width X1 and a width X2. The width X1 is aligned with the top portion of the rounding hard mask in a horizontal direction, and the width X2 is aligned with the bottom portion of the rounding hard mask in the horizontal direction, X1 is greater than or equal to X2.
