A vertical semiconductor memory device is provided which capable of miniaturization. More particularly, a memory cell is provided having a trench capacitor and a vertical transistor in a dynamic random access memory suitable for high density integration. An object of this arrangement is to provide a vertical memory cell capable of miniaturization for use in a ultra-high density integration DRAM of a Gbit class. This memory cell is characterized in that each memory cell is covered with an oxide film, an impurity area does not exist on the substrate side, an area in which a channel area is formed is a hollow cylindrical single crystal area, connection of impurity areas as source-drain areas and bit lines and the electrode of a capacitor is made by self-alignment and connection between a word line electrode and a gate electrode is also made by self-alignment.

The present invention concerns a semiconductor device having a low-resistivity wiring structure. Wirings formed directly on a hill and valley structure result in a thin portion and, in an extreme case, a disconnected portion. This increases the resistivity of wirings on the hill and valley structure and lowers the reliability of the connection. In a case where the wirings are data lines of a memory, with an increased effective length, the resistance and the parasitic capacitance of the data line is greater. The above mentioned problems have been solved by wirings which comprise at least two layers of conductive film including a first conductive film as a lower layer and a second conductive film as an upper layer, and the first conductive layer has a surface moderating or planarizing the hills and valleys in the underlying material.

A semiconductor memory device having STC cells wherein the major portions of active regions consisting of channel-forming portions are inclined at an angle of 45 degrees with respect to word lines and bit lines that meet at right angles with each other, thereby enabling the storage capacity portions to be arranged very densely and a sufficiently large capacity to be maintained with very small cell areas. Since the storage capacity portions are formed even on the bit lines, the bit lines are shielded, so that the capacity decreases between the bit lines and, hence, the memory array noise decreases. It is also possible to design the charge storage capacity portion so that a part of thereof has a form of a wall substantially vertical to the substrate in order to increase the capacity.

It is also possible to design the charge storage capacitor portion so that a part thereof is in the form of a wall substantially vertical to the substrate in order to increase the capacitance.
