Abstract
A semiconductor device and a method for manufacturing the same are disclosed, in which a buried gate region is formed, a nitride film spacer is formed at sidewalls of the buried gate region, and the spacer is etched in an active region in such a manner that the spacer remains in a device isolation region. Thus, if a void occurs in the device isolation region, the spacer can prevent a short-circuit from occurring between the device isolation region and its neighboring gates.
