Original Abstract Submitted

A semiconductor device includes a lower structure, an interlayer insulating layer on the lower structure, a conductive shielding line on the lower structure and penetrating through the interlayer insulating layer, a capping insulating layer on the interlayer insulating layer and the conductive shielding line, and a bit line on the lower structure and penetrating through the capping insulating layer and the interlayer insulating layer. An upper surface of the bit line is at a higher level than an upper surface of the conductive shielding line. A lower surface of the bit line is at a level equal to or lower than a level of a lower surface of the conductive shielding line.
