A contact hole is formed on a memory cell region of a semiconductor substrate and exposes a part of the semiconductor substrate. A dielectric layer is formed on the semiconductor substrate. A first trench penetrating the dielectric layer is formed on a memory cell region of the semiconductor substrate. A second trench penetrating the dielectric layer is formed on the peripheral region. A metal conductive layer is formed. The first trench and the second trench are filled with the metal conductive layer for forming a bit line metal structure in the first trench and a first metal gate structure in the second trench.

Abstract: A semiconductor memory device and a manufacturing method thereof are provided. At least one bit line structure including a first metal layer, a bit line capping layer, and a first silicon layer located between the first metal layer and the bit line capping layer is formed on a semiconductor substrate. A bit line contact opening penetrating the bit line capping layer is formed for exposing a part of the first silicon layer. A first metal silicide layer is formed on the first silicon layer exposed by the bit line contact opening. A bit line contact structure is formed in the bit line contact opening and contacts the first metal silicide layer for being electrically connected to the bit line structure. The first silicon layer in the bit line structure may be used to protect the first metal layer from being damaged by the process of forming the metal silicide layer.
