Semiconductor memory devices and methods for manufacturing the same

Abstract

A semiconductor memory device and a method for manufacturing the same. The semiconductor memory device may include a substrate, a first lower wire pattern and a first upper wire pattern stacked on the substrate, and spaced apart from each other; a second lower wire pattern and a second upper wire pattern stacked on the substrate, spaced apart from each other, and spaced apart from the first lower and upper wire patterns; a first gate line surrounding the first lower wire pattern and the first upper wire pattern; a second gate line surrounding the second lower wire pattern and the second upper wire pattern and spaced apart from the first gate line; a first lower source/drain area; a first upper source/drain area; and a first overlapping contact that electrically connects the first lower source/drain area, the first upper source/drain area and the second gate line to each other.
