Abstract

In a semiconductor memory device having a novel structure of a wiring layer and a large capacitance capacitor and the manufacturing method therefor, on the transistor formed on the semiconductor substrate, a first conductive layer is formed extending along with the gate electrode of the transistor and connecting with the gate electrode, a storage electrode of a capacitor is formed on the first conductive layer by interposing the insulation film between the first conductive layer and the source region of the transistor, and a second conductive layer is formed in connection with the first conductive layer at a portion between memory cell array and the peripheral circuit region. Storage electrodes can be made thicker without affecting to the step-difference between memory cells and the peripheral circuit region, so that a more reliable semiconductor memory device with a capacitor having a larger capacitance can be realized.
