Abstract

A semiconductor device includes a contact plug forming a signal path electrically connecting a bitline or wordlines and an upper connection pattern to each other, a lower insulating structure includes first and second insulating portions; the contact plug penetrates through the second insulating portion and contacts the upper connection pattern; the first insulating portion includes first and second lower layers, the second lower layer having a thickness smaller than the first lower layer; the second insulating portion includes a first upper layer contacting the second lower layer and covering a portion of an upper surface of the upper connection pattern, and a second upper layer on the first upper layer, the second upper layer having a thickness greater than the first upper layer; and materials of the second lower layer and first upper layer is different from materials of the first lower layer and the second upper layer.
