Abstract
Disclosed is a method of forming self-aligned buried contact implementing self-alignment technology into buried contact process to prevent failure of semiconductor elements due to disconnection of wiring which is caused by misalignment. This is done by forming a sidewall spacer in the recess on the buried contact region. The tolerance of misalignment is greatly increased because a polysilicon layer will contact with the buried contact region if the polysilicon layer could contact the sidewall spacer.
