Abstract
A method of forming a semiconductor device includes the following processes. A first interlayer insulating film is formed over a cell transistor and a peripheral transistor. A cell contact hole is formed in the first interlayer insulating film, the cell contact hole reaching the cell transistor. A lower contact plug is formed at a bottom of the cell contact hole. A peripheral contact hole is formed in the first interlayer insulating film, the peripheral contact hole reaching the peripheral transistor. A first peripheral contact plug is simultaneously formed in the peripheral contact hole and an upper contact plug in the cell contact hole, the upper contact plug being disposed on the lower contact plug.
