A method for forming a semiconductor memory structure includes forming a plurality of conductive wire structures over a semiconductor substrate, and forming a plurality of spacer structures along the sidewalls of the conductive wire structures. Each of the spacer structures includes a first spacer. The method also includes forming a plurality of dielectric strips across the conductive wire structures, forming a plurality of conductive strips over the conductive wire structures and the dielectric strips, performing a patterning process on the conductive strips to form a plurality of conductive pads, and removing the first spacer of each of the spacer structures to form a gap in each of the spacer structures.

Semiconductor memory structure and method for forming the same

A memory device includes a substrate, a bit line, a first insulating film, a second insulating film, a third insulating film, and a contact. The bit line is disposed over the substrate. The first insulating film is disposed on a sidewall of the bit line. The second insulating film is disposed on the first insulating film and is made of a different material than the first insulating film. The third insulating film is disposed on the second insulating film and is made of a different material than the second insulating film. The top surfaces of the second insulating film and the third insulating film are lower than the top surface of the first insulating film. The contact is disposed over the substrate and adjacent to the bit line. The width of the lower portion of the contact is less than the width of the upper portion of the contact.
