Abstract

The present disclosure provides a semiconductor structure. The semiconductor structure comprises a substrate having a first top surface. An active region is surrounded by an isolation region in the substrate. A buried power line and a buried signal line are disposed within the substrate and in the active region. A first circuit layer is disposed on the first top surface of the substrate to cover the buried power line and the buried signal line. A second circuit layer is disposed on the first top surface of the substrate and separated from the first circuit layer. A cell capacitor is disposed on and electrically coupled to the first circuit layer.
