A semiconductor device including a substrate, a capacitor, a stop layer, a first contact, and a second contact is provided. The substrate includes a memory array region and a peripheral circuit region. The capacitor is located in the memory array region. The capacitor includes a first electrode, a second electrode, and an insulating layer. The second electrode is located on the first electrode. The insulating layer is located between the first electrode and the second electrode. The stop layer is located on the second electrode in the memory array region and extends into the peripheral circuit region. A material of the stop layer is not a conductive material. The first contact is located in the memory array region, passes through the stop layer, and is electrically connected to the second electrode. The second contact is located in the peripheral circuit region and passes through the stop layer.

Manufacturing method of semiconductor device

Semiconductor device and manufacturing method thereof

A semiconductor structure includes a substrate and a buried gate structure in the substrate. The buried gate structure includes a gate dielectric layer formed on the sidewall and the bottom surface of a trench in the substrate, a barrier layer formed in the trench and on the sidewall and the bottom surface of the gate dielectric layer, a first work function layer formed in the trench and including a main portion and a protruding portion, a second work function layer formed at opposite sides of the protruding portion, and an insulating layer formed in the trench and on the protruding portion of the first work function layer and the second work function layer. The barrier layer surrounds the main portion of the first work function layer. The area of the top surface of the protruding portion is less than the area of the bottom surface of the protruding portion.
