Abstract

A highly integrated semiconductor device and method for manufacturing the same are disclosed. The device has a self-aligned contact structure for increasing a contact margin upon forming a self-aligned buried contact hole. An oxide film of an upper portion of a gate electrode is chamfered in order to form a self-aligned buried contact hole. Therefore, a self-aligned contact hole can be formed without enhancing the step, and as a result, the step between the cell and the peripheral portion of the cell can be reduced.
