Method of manufacturing a semiconductor device having three-dimensional cell structure

Abstract

A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device comprises: providing a substrate having a base insulation layer; forming, over the base insulation layer, a plurality of first word line structures extending in a first lateral direction and a first switching functional layer disposed between the plurality of first word line structures, the plurality of first word line structures; forming a first interlayer insulation layer on the plurality of first word line structures and the first switching functional layer; forming a plurality of second word line structures and a second switching functional layer disposed between the plurality of second word line structures; performing selective etching to the second switching functional layer, the first interlayer insulation layer, the first switching functional layer, and the base insulation layer to form bit line contact holes; and providing a conductive material in the bit line contact holes to form bit line structures.
