Semiconductor memory device having self-aligned contacts and method of fabricating the same

Abstract

A semiconductor memory device having self-aligned contacts, capable of preventing a short-circuit between contacts for bit lines and contacts for storage electrodes and improving a process margin, and a method of fabricating the same are provided. The semiconductor memory device having self-aligned contacts includes a plurality of gate electrode patterns arranged in parallel on a semiconductor substrate, in which a plurality of first spacers are formed along the sidewalls of the gate electrode patterns, a first interdielectric layer formed on the entire surface of a resultant in which the first spacers are formed, a plurality of bit line patterns arranged in parallel on the first interdielectric layer to be perpendicular to the gate electrode patterns, in which a plurality of second spacers are formed along the sidewalls of the bit line patterns, a plurality of contacts for bit lines self-aligned with the first spacers, a second interdielectric layer formed on the entire surface of a resultant in which the second spacers are formed, and a plurality of contacts for storage electrodes simultaneously self-aligned with the second and first spacers.
