The semiconductor device includes a substrate including a first active
region and a second active region having a greater height than that of
the first active region. A gate pattern has a step structure, which is
formed on a border region between the first active region and the second
active region. The gate pattern extends from a predetermined portion of
the first active region to a predecided portion of the second active
region. Gate spacers are formed on both sidewalls of the gate pattern. A
first cell junction is formed in the first active region at one gate
spacer and connected to a storage node contact. A second cell junction is
formed in the second active region at the other gate spacer and connected
to a bit line contact.
