Abstract
Disclosed are a contact plug in a semiconductor device and method of forming the same. After a junction region where a contact plug is formed upwardly up to the bottom of a metal wire, the raised junction region and the metal wire are connected by a contact plug. Or after a first contact plug of the same area is formed on the junction region up to the bottom of the metal wires, the first contact plug is connected by a second contact plug. Thus, the width of the contact plug except for some portions is increased by maximum. It is thus possible to prevent an electric field from being concentrated and prohibit on-current from reduced, thus improving the electrical properties of devices.
