Abstract

Disclosed is a semiconductor device including a charge storage capacitor having a storage electrode which is electrically connected to a switching transistor through a contact hole provided in an insulator and which has a greater film thickness than the radius of the contact hole, at least a part of the storage electrode being disposed above a data line. It is possible to reduce the memory cell area while preventing lowering in the capacitance, and thus realize high density and high integration of semiconductor devices.
