Abstract
A semiconductor device and a method for forming the same are disclosed. The semiconductor device includes an active region formed to be sloped or tilted by α° (where 0°<α°<90°) from the bottom of a semiconductor substrate, at least one gate that is formed over the sloped active region and has a surface parallel to the bottom of the semiconductor substrate, and a landing plug that is coupled to the active region and is located between the gates. As a result, the area of the active region is increased thus increasing a channel width, so that the operation of the semiconductor device can be improved as the integration degree of the semiconductor device is rapidly increased.
