  • Patent number: 5296402
    Abstract: A semiconductor memory device and a method for manufacturing the same, capable of increasing the effective cell capacitor area by virtue of steps each defined between a semiconductor substrate surface and each field oxide film formed over the semiconductor substrate. Over the semiconductor substrate, a thin film MOSFET is formed, which includes a charge storage electrode and an active region both connected with a charge storage electrode of each memory cell through a charge storage contact hole. With this structure, a second effective capacitor area is obtained, thereby enabling the capacitance to increase. Also, the semiconductor substrate is connected with a substrate of the thin film MOSFET by a substrate contact hole. Accordingly, it is possible to control the electrical characteristic of the thin film MOSFET. In spite of a decrease in cell area, a higher charge storage capacity can be also obtained.
