Semiconductor devices with a multiple isolation structure and methods for fabricating the same are provided. In one aspect, a semiconductor device comprises a heavily doped buried layer having a first conductivity type, which is formed in a predetermined region of a semiconductor substrate, and an epitaxial layer having the first conductivity type, which covers an entire surface of the semiconductor substrate. A device isolation structure is disposed such that the device isolation structure penetrates the epitaxial layer and a portion of the semiconductor substrate to define a device region. The device isolation structure includes an upper isolation structure penetrating an epitaxial layer as well as a lower isolation structure formed in the semiconductor substrate under the upper isolation structure.

Semiconductor devices with multiple isolation structure and methods for fabricating the same

A method for forming an integrated circuit device includes the steps of forming a first capacitor electrode on a substrate and forming a first wiring electrode on the substrate. An insulating layer is formed on the first capacitor electrode and on the first wiring electrode opposite the substrate. A second capacitor electrode is formed on a portion of the insulating layer opposite the first capacitor electrode. A contact hole is formed in the insulating layer exposing a portion of the first wiring electrode. A second wiring electrode is then formed on the exposed portion of the wiring electrode, after forming the second capacitor electrode. Related structures are also discussed.
