Abstract

A semiconductor device and a method of forming the same are disclosed, which forms a low-dielectric-constant oxide film only at a peripheral part of a bit line conductive material, resulting in reduction in parasitic capacitance of the bit line. The semiconductor device includes a bit line formed over a semiconductor substrate, a first spacer formed over sidewalls of the bit line, and a second spacer formed over sidewalls of the first spacer, configured to have a dielectric constant lower than that of the first spacer.
