Abstract
A semiconductor memory device comprises a semiconductor substrate, four memory cells arranged in point symmetry on the main surface, each of the memory cells having one transistor (6) formed around the point of symmetry and one capacitor adjacent to the outside of the transistor (6), the capacitor having a surface capacitor region (4a) parallel to the main surface and a trench capacitor region (40a) parallel to a side wall of a trench (40) formed in the main surface along the outer periphery of the surface capacitor region (4a), and an insulating layer (10) covering the memory cells and having one contact hole (2) arranged at the center of the point symmetry, with the contact hole (2) enabling electrical contact to each transistor (6).
