The method of forming buried contacts on a semiconductor substrate is as follows. At first, a gate insulator layer is formed on the substrate. An undoped silicon layer is then formed on the substrate, and a dielectric layer is formed on the undoped silicon layer. Portions of the dielectric layer, of the undoped silicon layer, and of the gate insulator layer are removed to define a buried contact opening. A doping step is carried out to dope the substrate for forming a buried contact region. A doped silicon layer is formed over the substrate. Next, a portion of the doped silicon layer is then removed to leave a silicon connection and a doped silicon sidewall. The dielectric layer is removed and a thermal oxidization is performed to form a thermal oxide layer on the exposed silicon surfaces. A gate region is defined by removing portions of the thermal oxide layer and the undoped silicon layer. The substrate is doped for forming a lightly doped source/drain region. Dielectric sidewalls are then formed on sidewalls of the gate region and of the doped silicon sidewall. Finally, the substrate is doped to form a source/drain region in the substrate under an exposed region of the substrate.
