A semiconductor includes a plurality of active regions that are separated from each other on a substrate by a device isolation layer and extend in a first direction, the active regions having two opposite ends and a center region; wordlines that are buried in and cross the active regions and extend in a second direction, which is different from the first direction, wherein a wordline that crosses an active region crosses between one of the two opposite ends and the center region of the active region; first contact plugs on the two opposite ends of the active regions, each contact plug overlapping a border between the active region and the device isolation layer; and second contact plugs formed on the first contact plugs.
