Abstract

The semiconductor memory device of the present invention is formed on an integrated substrate and is immune to alpha radiation. The device includes a semiconductor substrate of a first conductive type and a memory cell formed in the substrate which has a switching MOS transistor having at least a first impurity region of a second conductive type and a capacitor connected to the transistor for storing memory data. A second impurity region of the first conductive type and having a higher concentration than that of the substrate is provided on the substrate surface at a position covering the first impurity region.
