A semiconductor device in which an increase of contact resistance Rc between a metal contact and a plug due to misalignment between the metal contact and the plug can be reduced and the difficulty of a Cu filling process during the process of forming the plug may be reduced. The semiconductor device includes a substrate including an active area and a device isolation layer; a metal contact that is formed on the substrate and is electrically connected to the active area; a landing pad formed on the metal contact by electroless plating; and a plug that is formed on the landing pad and is electrically connected to the metal contact via the landing pad.
