Abstract
A semiconductor memory device may include a device isolation pattern in a substrate and defining a first active section of the substrate and a second active section of the substrate, a first bit line crossing the center of the first active section, a second bit line crossing a center of the second active section, a bit-line contact between the first bit line and a center of the first active section, and a storage node pad on an end of the second active section. The first and second active sections may be spaced apart from each other. The center of the first active section may be adjacent to the end of the second active section. A level of a bottom surface of the first bit line may be lower than a level of a bottom surface of the second bit line.
