A method for forming a memory device includes the steps of providing a substrate, forming an isolation structure in the substrate to define a plurality of active regions in the substrate, the active regions respectively comprising two terminal portions and a central portion between the terminal portions, forming a plurality of island features on the substrate, wherein each of the island features covers two of the terminals portions respectively belonging to two of the active regions, performing a first etching process, using the island features as an etching mask to etch the substrate to define a plurality of island structures and a first recessed region surrounding the island structures on the substrate, and removing the island features to expose the island structures.

Method of forming a memory device

A method for fabricating semiconductor device includes the steps of: forming a semiconductor layer on a substrate; removing part of the semiconductor layer and part of the substrate to form a trench; forming a liner in the trench; removing part of the liner to form a spacer adjacent to two sides of the trench; forming a conductive layer in the trench; forming a metal layer on the conductive layer; forming a mask layer on the metal layer; and patterning the mask layer, the metal layer, and the conductive layer to form a bit line structure.

Semiconductor device and method for fabricating the same

A method for forming a memory device is disclosed, including providing a substrate, forming an isolation structure and plural active regions in the substrate, forming a plurality of island features on the substrate respectively covering two of the terminal portions of the active regions, using the island features as an etching mask to etch the substrate to perform a first etching process to define a first recessed region and plural island structures on the substrate. The island structures respectively comprise the two terminal portions of the active regions and the first recessed region comprises the central portions of the active regions.
