Abstract: A semiconductor memory device may include a semiconductor substrate having a plurality of active regions wherein each active region has a length in a direction of a first axis and a width in a direction of a second axis. The length may be greater than the width, and the plurality of active regions may be provided in a plurality of columns in the direction of the second axis. A plurality of wordline pairs may be provided on the substrate, with each wordline pair crossing active regions of a respective column of active regions defining a drain portion of each active region between wordlines of the respective wordline pair.

Abstract: A semiconductor memory device may include a semiconductor substrate having an active region thereof, and the active region may have a length and a width, with the length being greater than the width. A field isolation layer may be on the semiconductor substrate surrounding the active region. First and second wordlines may be on the substrate crossing the active region, with the first and second wordlines defining a drain portion of the active region between the first and second wordlines and first and second source portions of the active region at opposite ends of the active region. First and second memory storage elements may be respectively coupled to the first and second source portions of the active region, with the first and second wordlines being between portions of the respective first and second memory storage elements and the active region in a direction perpendicular to a surface of the substrate.
