According to example embodiments of the present invention, there are
provided an electrical node of a transistor and a method of forming the
same, which may reduce or minimize current leakage between the electrical
node and a semiconductor substrate when a buried contact hole exposing at
least the side of an active region is arranged on the semiconductor
substrate. Two gate patterns may be formed on the active region of the
semiconductor substrate. Conductive layer patterns may be formed in the
gate patterns and in the semiconductor substrate between the gate
patterns. A buried interlayer insulating layer may be formed on the
semiconductor substrate to cover the gate patterns. A buried contact hole
which passes through the buried interlayer insulating layer and exposes
the conductive layer pattern of the semiconductor substrate may be
formed. The buried contact hole may be formed to expose at least the side
of the active region. An impurity region may be formed in the
semiconductor substrate below the buried contact hole. A contact hole
spacer covering the sidewall of the buried contact hole may be formed. A
buried conductive layer which covers the contact hole spacer and fills
the buried contact hole may be formed.
