Abstract
A dynamic RAM in which a groove (20) is formed on the main surface of a semiconductor substrate; a highly concentrated semiconductor layer (80) having one conductive type is formed inside the groove (20) to a depth sufficient to contain the first and second impurity diffusion areas (53) and (22), which are formed on the top of this groove and have the opposite conductive type; a capacitor C.sub.1 formed inside the groove (20), while a transfer gate Tr.sub.1 is formed on the highly concentrated semiconductor layer (80); and the diffusion area (53) is used to connect them.
