An SOI device includes an SOI substrate having a structure in which a first buried oxide layer and a silicon layer are stacked in turn over a semiconductor substrate. A gate is formed over the silicon layer of the SOI substrate. A second buried oxide layer is formed at both sides of the gate in a lower portion of the silicon layer so that a lower end portion of the second buried oxide layer is in contact with the first buried oxide layer. A junction region is then formed in the portion of the silicon layer above the second buried oxide layer so that the lower end portion of the junction region is in contact with the second buried oxide layer.

The recess channel transistor includes: a semiconductor substrate including a device insulation layer defining an activation region in which recesses are formed; insulation buffer patterns, each of which is formed at an opening of the recess on a surface of the substrate; gates, each of which includes a recess gate formed in the recess and a top gate formed on the substrate; spacers, each of which is formed at both sides of the gate; and a source region and a drain region formed at both sides of each gate on the surface of the substrate, where the source and drain regions have an even doping profile due to the existence of insulation buffer patterns. Accordingly, characteristics of the transistor can be prevented from deteriorating due to misalignment of the top gate with the recess gate.
