Abstract
Methods for manufacturing a semiconductor device include forming a gate line extending in a first direction in a substrate, and an impurity region on a side surface of the gate line, forming an insulating film pattern on the substrate, the insulating film pattern extending in the first direction and comprising a first through-hole that is configured to expose the impurity region, forming a barrier metal layer on the first through-hole, forming a conductive line contact that fills the first through-hole and that is electrically connected to the impurity region, forming a first mask pattern on the conductive line contact and the insulating film pattern, the first mask pattern extending in a second direction that is different from the first direction and the first mask pattern comprising a first opening, and removing corners of the barrier metal layer by partially etching the barrier metal layer.
