Abstract

A semiconductor device may include contact plug structures on a substrate, and an insulation structure filling a space between the contact plug structures to insulate the contact plug structures from each other. The contact plug structures may be spaced apart from each other in a first direction. The insulation structure may include a first insulation pattern and a second insulation pattern. The second insulation pattern may include an insulation material having an etch selectivity with respect to silicon oxide. The first insulation pattern may contact a portion of sidewalls of the second insulation pattern and a portion of sidewalls of the contact plug structure. The first insulation pattern may include a material having a band gap higher than a band gap of the second insulation pattern.
