A method for forming, and a structure for a semiconductor device having vertically-oriented transistors connected to stacked capacitor cells, wherein a contact area for the capacitors enables a compact cell. A vertically-oriented transistor is formed in a trough in a substrate above a buried bit line. The gate conductor may be formed in the trough above the buried bit line, with source and drain diffusions spaced along a sidewall of the trough. Isolation regions are formed in the semiconductor substrate to isolate the transistors. Word lines are formed above the surface of the semiconductor substrate in a direction perpendicular to the direction of the buried bit lines. A capacitor contact is formed above the surface of the semiconductor substrate at a contact area of an active region between adjacent word lines. The active region is rhomboid in shape, enabling a low capacitor contact resistance, a small bit line and word line pitch, and consequently, a compact capacitor cell.
