Abstract

A method for fabricating a semiconductor device includes forming a stacked structure on a substrate, forming a first interlayer dielectric covering the stacked structure, and forming a second interlayer dielectric covering the first interlayer dielectric. The stacked structure includes a stepwise shape. The first interlayer dielectric includes at least one step portion having a slope surface connecting a first top surface to a second top surface. The first top surface and the sloped surface define a first angle that is an obtuse angle. A level of the second top surface is higher than a level of the first top surface.
