Since the first conductive structures 141 are located on the first active doping region R1, each first bit line 143 is connected to the first conductive structures 141 on 1 first active region B, the second conductive structure 142 is located on the second active doping region R2, and each second bit line 144 is connected to the second conductive structures 144 on 1 second active region T, the first active doping region R1 and the second active doping region R2 are enabled, and the first inactive doping region U1 and the second inactive doping region U2 are disabled. Furthermore, since the first surface 101 exposes the first and second effective doping regions R1 and R2, and the second surface 102 exposes the third doping region 170, a channel along the normal direction of the first surface 101 can be formed between 1 third doping region 170 and 1 first effective doping region R1, and a channel along the normal direction of the first surface 101 can be formed between 1 third doping region 170 and 1 second effective doping region R2.

Therefore, on the one hand, the mutual interference between the electrical device (capacitor 180) electrically connected to the third doped region 170 and the first bit line 143 and the second bit line 144 in the circuit arrangement is small, so that the circuit arrangement of the semiconductor structure can be simpler and the integration of the semiconductor structure is higher; on the other hand, while the circuit arrangement of the semiconductor structure is simple, the distances between the adjacent first conductive structures 141, between the adjacent second conductive structures 142, and between the adjacent first conductive structures 141 and second conductive structures 142 are all large, so that the process window of the manufacturing process for forming the first conductive structures 141 and the second conductive structures 142 is large, and the difficulty of the manufacturing process of the memory is small.
