摘要:
A semiconductor device has an element substrate including a semiconductor layer of a first conductivity type being formed over a semiconductor substrate with a dielectric film interposed therebetween. A groove is formed in the element substrate with a depth extending from a top surface of the semiconductor layer into the dielectric film, the groove having a width-increased groove portion in the dielectric film as to expose a bottom surface of the semiconductor layer. An impurity diffusion source is buried in the width-increased groove portion to be contacted with the bottom surface. A transistor is formed to have a first diffusion layer being formed through impurity diffusion from the impurity diffusion source to the bottom surface of the semiconductor layer, a second diffusion layer formed through impurity diffusion to the top surface of the semiconductor layer, and a gate electrode formed at a side face of the groove over the impurity diffusion source with a gate insulation film between the side face and the gate electrode.

In a MOS transistor using shallow trench isolation, a pattern of an element formation region has a shape of a modified hexagon in which a hexagon is compressed into a shape like a rhombus in a direction perpendicular to an extension direction of a gate electrode wiring. The pattern of element formation region is constructed as described above, so that an element formation region is formed in a lager current path in a corner device. Thus, a lowering of a threshold voltage (a short channel effect) due to the corner device can be restricted without increasing a width of the gate electrode wiring.

MTJ elements are accumulated in a plurality of portions on a semiconductor substrate. A first conductive line functioning as a read line and extending in the X direction is connected to pin layers of the MTJ elements. A second conductive line functioning as a write line and read line and extending in the X direction is connected to free layers of the MTJ elements. A write line extends in the Y direction and is shared with two MTJ elements present above and below the write line. The two MTJ elements present above and below the write line are arranged symmetric to the write line.
