Abstract

The present invention discloses a semiconductor memory device, including a substrate, active areas, first wires and at least one first plug. The active areas extend parallel to each other along a first direction, and the first wires cross over the active areas, wherein each of the first wires has a first end and a second end opposite to each other. The first plug is disposed on the first end of the first wire and electrically connected with the first wire, wherein the first plug entirely wraps the first end of the first wire and is in direct contact with a top surface, sidewalls and an end surface of the first end. Therefore, the contact area between the plug and the first wires may be increased, the contact resistance of the plug may be reduced, and the reliability of electrical connection between the plug and the first wires may be improved.
