Abstract

The present disclosure relates to the technical field of semiconductors, and provides a semiconductor structure and a manufacturing method thereof. The semiconductor structure includes: a base, and bit lines, word lines, active pillars, and a memory structure that are located on the base. The bit line extends along a first direction, the word line extends along a second direction, the first direction is one of a direction perpendicular to a surface of the base or a direction parallel to the surface of the base, and the second direction is the other of the direction perpendicular to the surface of the base or the direction parallel to the surface of the base. The active pillars are parallel to the base and arranged at intervals, the word line surrounds a channel region of the active pillar, the memory structure surrounds a support region of the active pillar.
