Abstract

A semiconductor memory device includes a plurality of pattern structures respectively including a bit line and insulating spacers on sidewalls thereof protruding from a substrate. A plurality of insulating extension patterns are provided on opposing sidewalls of the pattern structures, and respectively extend from upper portions of the opposing sidewalls toward the substrate along the insulating spacers such that lower portions of the opposing sidewalls are free of the extension patterns. A plurality of buried contact patterns are provided on the substrate between the lower portions of the opposing sidewalls of adjacent pattern structures. Related fabrication methods are also discussed.
