Provided are semiconductor integrated circuit (IC) devices having an upper
pattern aligned with a lower pattern molded by a semiconductor substrate
and methods of forming the same. In the semiconductor IC devices, the
lower pattern contacts the upper pattern using an active region and/or an
isolation layer. The methods include preparing a semiconductor substrate
having an active region. A lower pattern is formed on the active region.
The lower pattern is surrounded by the active region and protrudes from a
top surface of the active region. An upper pattern is disposed on the
lower pattern. The upper pattern contacts the lower pattern.
