Abstract

A semiconductor structure and a method for forming the same, and a memory and a method for forming the same are provided. The method for forming the semiconductor structure includes: providing a substrate, in which a sacrificial layer and an active layer on the sacrificial layer are formed on the substrate; patterning the active layer and the sacrificial layer to form grooves which divide the active layer and the sacrificial layer into a plurality of active areas; filling the grooves to form a first isolation layer surrounding the active areas; patterning the active layer in the active areas to form a plurality of separate active patterns; removing the sacrificial layer via openings between adjacent active patterns to form gaps between bottoms of the active patterns and the substrate; forming bit lines in the gaps; and forming semiconductor pillars on partial tops of the active patterns.
