Abstract

In a semiconductor device, a transfer transistor having a drain region and a source region is formed on an Si semiconductor substrate. A lower end of a storage node is electrically connected to the drain region through a drain contact hole defined in an interlayer insulator. The storage node has an on-film extending portion which extends on an upper electrode portion which protrudes from the on-film extending portion. Structurally, the fin-shaped electrode portion is provided within a capacitor region so as to extend within a region smaller than the capacitor region and is spaced away from the on-film extending portion on the side of a bit line contact hole defined in the interlayer insulator.
