Abstract

A semiconductor memory comprising a memory cell disposed on a p-type semiconductor substrate and including an insulated-gate field effect transistor and a storage capacitor. The storage capacitor comprises: an insulator capacitor including a first electrode disposed on the substrate, a film of Si.sub.3 N.sub.4 disposed on the first electrode, and a second electrode disposed on the Si.sub.3 N.sub.4 film; and a pn junction capacitor including a first n-type impurity region for constituting either the source or drain of the insulated-gate field effect transistor, and a second p-type impurity region disposed in contact with the first impurity region and having a higher impurity concentration than the substrate.
