Abstract
In a semiconductor memory device such as a DRAM, a conductive film is arranged on the rim portion of a isolation insulating film in opposition to a semiconductor substrate with a thin insulating film in between. This conductive film is electrically connected to a lower electrode of a storage capacitor. This novel arrangement can control the location of electrical pn junction independently of the location of metallurgical pn junction, thereby realizing a semiconductor memory device having a long data retention time with the increase in leakage current suppressed.
