Abstract
A method of fabricating a semiconductor device having a landing plug is provided. First, a substrate is provided, which has active areas, wordlines stretching over the active areas and an isolation layer filling the gaps between the wordlines. Second, a pattern is defined and the isolation layer masked with the pattern is etched for the formation of bitline and node contacts, wherein the pattern has a protrusion which shortens the length of the bitline to wordline overlap formed thereby. Finally, the contacts are filled with a conducting layer.
