An embodiment of the semiconductor device includes a recess formed in an active region, a gate buried in a lower part of the recess, a first capping insulation film formed over the gate, a second capping insulation film formed over the first capping insulation film, and a third capping insulation film formed over the second capping insulation film. In the semiconductor device including the buried gate, mechanical stress caused by a nitride film can be reduced by reducing the volume of a nitride film in a capping insulation film formed over a buried gate, and the ratio of silicon to nitrogen of the nitride film is adjusted, so that mechanical stress is reduced, resulting in improvement of operation characteristics of the semiconductor device. |
