A semiconductor device comprises bit line landing pads and storage landing
pads disposed on both sides of the bit line landing pads overlying a
substrate. A bit line interlayer insulating layer overlies the bit line
and storage landing pads. A plurality of bit line patterns are disposed
on the bit line interlayer insulating layer. The bit line patterns each
include a bit line and a bit line capping layer pattern. Line insulating
layer patterns are placed on a top surface of the bit line interlayer
insulating layer. Upper contact holes are placed in a region between the
bit line patterns and higher than upper surfaces of the bit lines.
Contact hole spacers cover the side walls of the upper contact holes.
Lower contact holes are self-aligned with the upper contact holes and
extend through the line insulating layer patterns and the bit line
interlayer insulating layer, thereby exposing the storage node landing
pads.
