Abstract

A semiconductor memory device includes a dielectric layer formed on a conductive thin film layer constituting a shield electrode for effecting element separation in a field area, the dielectric layer connected to a dielectric layer of a capacitor with a lower electrode having part thereof opposite to part of the shield electrode through the dielectric layer, and has an increase in electrode area of a memory cell to be able to attain the high level of integration.
