Abstract

A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device having recess gates includes forming an etch stop film on a semiconductor substrate; forming an etch stop film pattern selectively exposing the semiconductor substrate by patterning the etch stop film; forming a semiconductor layer on the semiconductor substrate; forming a hard mask film pattern exposing regions, for forming trenches for recess gates, on the semiconductor substrate; removing the semiconductor layer using the hard mask film pattern as a mask until the etch stop film pattern is exposed; forming the trenches for recess gates by removing the etch stop film pattern from the semiconductor substrate; and forming gate stacks, each of which is formed in the corresponding one of the trenches for recess gates.
