US Patent 9607991 Semiconductor device

To provide a semiconductor memory device which can be manufactured with high yield and which can achieve higher integration. A pair of memory cells adjacent to each other in the bit line direction is connected to a bit line through a common contact hole. The pair of memory cells adjacent to each other in the bit line direction shares an electrode connected to the bit line. An oxide semiconductor layer included in the memory cell is provided to overlap with a word line and a capacitor line. A transistor and a capacitor included in the memory cell are each provided to overlap with the bit line connected to the memory cell.
