Semiconductor memory device and method for manufacturing the same

Abstract

A semiconductor memory device includes a substrate including a cell area and a peripheral area defined by a periphery of the cell area, the cell area including a dummy cell area and a normal cell area, and an active area defined by a cell element isolation film. The device includes a cell area separation film defining the cell area in the substrate, the dummy cell area defining a boundary with the cell area separation film between the normal cell area and the cell area separation film. The device includes a normal bit-line on the normal cell area and extending in a first direction, a dummy bit-line group on the dummy cell area, the dummy bit-line group including a plurality of dummy bit-lines extending in the first direction, and a plurality of storage contacts connected to the active area and located along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction.
