Abstract

A method for fabricating a high-density semiconductor memory device which can reduce chip size and increase memory device characteristics. The present invention provides SOI type memory device. The capacitor is embedded in the insulator below the semiconductor wafer and the transistor is formed after the formation of the capacitor. As a result, the degradation of the transistor can be prevented, sufficiently increase the capacitor surface area, and provide fully planarized surface during the processing steps.
