Abstract
A method of forming the semiconductor device is provided. The method includes following steps. A memory structure is formed over a first conductive line over a substrate and is electrically connected to the first conductive line. A sacrificial layer is formed on the memory structure. A spacer layer is formed to cover the memory structure and the sacrificial layer. A first dielectric layer is formed to cover the spacer layer. A planarization process is performed to remove a portion of the first dielectric layer. A second dielectric layer is formed on the spacer layer and the first dielectric layer. A patterning process is performed to form an opening exposing a portion of the top surface of the sacrificial layer. The sacrificial layer is removed to form a recess. A second conductive line is formed in the opening and the recess to be electrically coupled to the memory structure.
