A semiconductor memory device includes a substrate, a first active pattern on the substrate, a gate electrode intersecting a channel region of the first active pattern, a first insulating layer covering the first active pattern and the gate electrode, a contact penetrating the first insulating layer so as to be electrically connected to a first source/drain region of the first active pattern, and a second active pattern on the first insulating layer. A channel region of the second active pattern vertically overlaps with the contact.
