Abstract

In an embodiment of a method of manufacturing semiconductor integrated circuit devices according to the present invention, word lines are provided in a straight form, which serve as gate electrodes of two selecting MOSFETs formed symmetrical about a center portion of an active region surrounded by a LOCOS oxide film on a semiconductor substrate, and bit lines have straight segments and protruding segments. Each protruding segment is formed to protrude from the bit line and is connected through a first contact hole to a first semiconductor region formed at the center portion of the active region. The straight line segments and the protruding segments are formed separately by two separate exposure steps.
