A semiconductor storage device according to the present embodiment includes a semiconductor substrate. Each of memory cell arrays includes a plurality of memory cells on the semiconductor substrate. Select gate transistors are provided on ends of the memory cell arrays and brought into conduction when the memory cells are connected to a corresponding line. An embedded impurity layer is embedded in active areas between the select gate transistors respectively corresponding to the memory cell arrays adjacent to each other. Contact plugs connect the embedded impurity layer and the lines.

Semiconductor storage device and manufacturing method thereof

A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor substrate divided into a memory cell region in which a memory cell is formed and a peripheral circuit region in which a peripheral circuit for driving the memory cell is formed, a plurality of conductive layers provided in each region so as to interpose an interlayer insulating film, a plurality of connection wiring layers formed in a plurality of holes which are formed in the interlayer insulating film so as to extend through the conductive layers of each region, the connection wiring layers electrically connecting the conductive layers, and a spacer insulating film functioning as a spacer which is formed on inner sidewall surfaces of the holes and outer sidewall surfaces of the connection wiring layers in each region.

Semiconductor device and method of manufacturing the same

A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor substrate, a gate insulating film, gate electrodes, a first silicon oxide film, bit lines formed on the first silicon oxide film and including lower surfaces having respective recesses, a contact plug layer located between the gate electrodes and including a first portion, a second portion having a fourth side surface between the opposed second side surfaces of first silicon oxide film and a third portion having an upper surface and fifth side surfaces embedded in the respective recesses of the bit line, a first silicon nitride layer between a third side surface of the first portion of the contact plug and a first side surface of the gate electrode, and a second silicon oxide film.
