Abstract

A method for fabricating a semiconductor device includes: forming an etch stopper pad including a sacrificial plug over a substrate and a sacrificial pad over the sacrificial plug; forming an etch target layer over the etch stopper pad; forming a plurality of openings by etching the etch target layer and stopping the etching at the sacrificial pad; forming an air gap by removing the sacrificial pad and the sacrificial plug through the openings; and forming a gap-fill layer that fills the openings and the air gap.
