Abstract

A semiconductor device includes a device isolation pattern on a substrate to define active patterns, a gate electrode crossing the active patterns, first and second impurity regions in each of the active patterns and on both sides of the gate electrode, a bit line crossing the gate electrode, a first contact electrically connecting the first impurity region to the bit line, and a second contact electrically connected to the second impurity region. The second contact includes a vertically-extended portion covering an upper side surface of the second impurity region.
