A recess gate of a semiconductor device is provided, comprising: a substrate having a recess formed therein; a metal layer formed at the bottom of the recess; a polysilicon layer formed over the metal layer; and a source region and a drain region formed adjacent to the polysilicon layer and spaced from the metal layer. A method of forming a semiconductor device is also provided, comprising forming a substrate and a source and drain layer; forming a recess and depositing a gate insulation layer therein; forming a first conductive layer on the gate insulation layer; forming a first conductive layer pattern by recessing the first conductive layer; forming a second conductive layer on the first conductive layer pattern; forming a second conductive layer pattern by patterning the second conductive layer to overlap the source and drain layer; depositing an insulating layer on the second conductive layer pattern and the source and drain layer; and planarizing the insulating layer to form a cap on the second conductive layer pattern.
