Abstract:
A semiconductor device and a manufacturing method thereof are provided. The method includes providing a substrate, a plurality of word lines and a plurality of bit lines, and then forming a storage node contact on each source/drain region, so that a width of a top surface of each storage node contact in a direction is less than a width of a bottom surface of each storage node contact.

Claim (Index 1):
A semiconductor device, comprising:\n a substrate comprising a plurality of active regions, wherein each of the active regions comprises two source/drain regions disposed at two ends of the active area respectively; a plurality of word lines disposed in the substrate, wherein each of the word lines is disposed elongated in a first direction; a plurality of bit lines disposed on the substrate, wherein each of the bit lines is disposed elongated in a second direction and straddling the word lines, and each of the source/drain regions is disposed in a region surrounded by two of the word lines adjacent to each other and two of the bit lines adjacent to each other; and a plurality of storage node contacts disposed on the source/drain regions respectively, wherein a width of a top surface of each of the storage node contacts in the second direction is smaller than a width of a bottom surface of each of the storage node contacts in the second direction.
