Patent ID: 8093724

Claim:
A semiconductor storage device, comprising: a semiconductor substrate; a plurality of active regions formed in the shape of a band in the semiconductor substrate; a plurality of word lines arranged at equal intervals so as to intersect the active regions; a plurality of cell contacts that includes first cell contacts formed in the active regions in the center portions in the longitudinal direction thereof, and second cell contacts formed at each end portion at both ends in the longitudinal direction; bit line contacts formed on the first cell contacts; bit lines wired so as to pass over the bit line contacts; storage node contacts formed on the second cell contacts; storage node contact pads formed on the storage node contacts; and storage capacitors formed on the storage node contact pads, wherein the center positions of the storage node contacts are offset in a prescribed direction from the center positions of the second cell contacts, and the center positions of the storage node contact pads are offset in a prescribed direction from the center positions of the storage node contacts, wherein the plurality of active regions is preferably aligned with a straight line that forms a prescribed angle with the X direction intersecting the word lines, and is aligned with the Y direction parallel to the word lines.
