Abstract

A memory mat ( 101 ) includes a main body portion ( 200 ) that includes a first capacitor ( 203 A), a linear conductive film ( 204 ) that is formed between the main body portion ( 200 ) and a peripheral circuit ( 104 ), and a second capacitor ( 203 B) that is formed to be in contact with the conductive film ( 204 ) at a bottom of the second capacitor ( 203 B). The first capacitor ( 203 A) is in contact with a contact layer ( 202 ) at a bottom of the first capacitor ( 203 A).

Claims (34)

1. A semiconductor device comprising:
