Abstract

A varying-width recess gate structure having a varying-width recess formed in a semiconductor device can sufficiently increase the channel length of the transistor having a gate formed in the varying-width recess, thereby effectively reducing the current leakage and improving the refresh characteristics. In the method of manufacturing the recess gate structure, etching is performed twice or more, so as to form a gate recess having varying width in the substrate, and a gate is formed in the gate recess.
