Abstract

A semiconductor device includes a substrate including a cell region and a peripheral region, interconnection lines on the cell region and the peripheral region, the interconnection lines being spaced apart from the substrate in a first direction perpendicular to a top surface of the substrate, a lower insulating layer on the cell region and the peripheral region, the lower insulating layer covering the interconnection lines, and a top surface of the lower insulating layer on the cell region being at a lower height than top surfaces of uppermost interconnection lines of the interconnection lines, and data storage patterns on the lower insulating layer on the cell region, the data storage patterns being horizontally spaced apart from each other, and the data storage patterns being connected directly to the top surfaces of the uppermost interconnection lines on the cell region.
