Abstract

A semiconductor device and method of fabricating the semiconductor device are disclosed. The method includes forming a plurality of gate electrodes at a predetermined interval on a surface of a semiconductor substrate, forming spacers on sidewalls of the gate electrodes, depositing an interconnection layer conformally on the surface of the semiconductor substrate over the gate electrodes and the spacers, selectively etching the interconnection layer, wherein at least a portion of the interconnection layer that is formed on the surface of the semiconductor substrate and sidewalls of the spacers and located between adjacent gate electrodes remains after the selective etch, and forming an electrical contact on the etched interconnection layer located between the adjacent gate electrodes.
