Abstract

A semiconductor storage device according to an embodiment comprises active areas on a semiconductor substrate. An element isolation is arranged between the active areas and filled by an insulating film. A plurality of memory cells configured to store data are formed on the active areas. Air gaps are arranged between upper-end edge parts of the active areas where the memory cells are formed and an insulating film in the element isolation.
