SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICES - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17935119 titled 'SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICES
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a semiconductor device that includes a conductive contact plug, a bit line structure, spacers, and a capping pattern. The conductive contact plug has a lower portion with a wider width and an upper portion with a narrower width. The bit line structure is stacked on the conductive contact plug and consists of a conductive structure and an insulation structure. The spacers are stacked on the sidewall of the lower portion of the conductive contact plug, and the capping pattern covers the sidewall of the upper portion of the conductive contact plug. The first spacer directly contacts the sidewall of the lower portion of the conductive contact plug and contains air.
- The semiconductor device includes a conductive contact plug with a wider lower portion and a narrower upper portion.

Original Abstract Submitted
A semiconductor device includes a conductive contact plug disposed on a substrate, a bit line structure disposed on the conductive contact plug, first and second spacers, and a capping pattern disposed on the first and second spacers. The conductive contact plug includes a lower portion that has a first width and an upper portion that has a second width narrower than the first width. The bit line structure includes a conductive structure and an insulation structure stacked in a vertical direction. The first and second spacers are stacked on a sidewall of the lower portion of the conductive contact plug in a horizontal direction. The capping pattern covers a sidewall of the upper portion of the conductive contact plug. The first spacer directly contacts the sidewall of the lower portion of the conductive contact plug and includes air.
