Abstract
According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a semiconductor memory including a lower electrode, a first insulating region formed in the same layer as the lower electrode, a ferroelectric film formed on the lower electrode and on the first insulating region, an upper electrode formed on the ferroelectric film, a second insulating region formed in the same layer as the upper electrode and a transistor. The first insulating region partitions the lower electrode. The second insulating region partitions the upper electrode. The transistor includes a first impurity region connected to the lower electrode and a second impurity region connected to the upper electrode. At least one of the first insulating region and the second insulating region is formed by insulating the lower electrode or the upper electrode.
