具体来说,如图1和图2所示,多个所述位线接触结构15沿所述第一方向D1和所述第二方向D2呈二维阵列排布,形成所述位线接触阵列。所述位线接触阵列与所述存储阵列错开排布是指,所述位线接触阵列中的所述位线接触结构15在所述衬底20的顶面上的投影与所述存储阵列中的所述存储单元在所述衬底20的顶面上的投影沿所述第一方向D1和所述第二方向D2错开。举例来说,一个所述位线接触结构15位于沿所述第一方向D1相邻的两个所述存储单元中的所述有源区之间,且所述位线接触结构15与沿所述第一方向D1相邻的两个所述存储单元中的所述有源区均接触电连接。
所述位线接触结构15的截面形成可以是圆形、椭圆形、或者任意多边形。以所述位线接触结构15的截面为矩形为例,所述位线接触结构15沿所述第一方向D1相对的两端部分别与沿所述第一方向D1相邻的两个所述有源区接触电连接,所述位线接触结构15沿所述第二方向D2的端部与一条所述位线14接触电连接,且一个所述存储单元内的所述第一有源区10和所述第二有源区11分别与沿所述第一方向D1间隔排布的两个所述位线接触结构15接触电连接,从而进一步提高所述半导体结构内部的密集度。

在一实施例中,所述栅电极12在所述衬底20的顶面上的投影与所述位线接触结构15在所述衬底20的顶面上的投影之间具有间隙,即所述栅电极12在所述衬底20的顶面上的投影与所述位线接触结构15在所述衬底20的顶面上的投影不接触,从而减小甚至是消除所述栅电极12与所述位线接触结构15之间的寄生电容效应。

在一些实施例中,所述存储单元结构还包括:
节点接触结构17,位于所述电容结构18和所述晶体管之间,所述节点接触结构17的一端接触电连接所述第一漏极区103和所述第二漏极区113、另一端接触电连接所述电容结构18。

为了增大所述晶体管结构与所述电容结构18之间的接触面积,从而降低所述晶体管结构与所述电容结构18之间的接触电阻,在一示例中,所述节点接触结构17沿所述第一方向D1和所述第二方向D2的尺寸均大于由所述第一有源区10和所述第二有源区11构成的整体在所述第一方向D1和所述第二方向D2的尺寸。

沿所述第一方向D1相邻的两条所述字线13之间的距离、沿所述第二方向D2相邻的两条所述位线14之间的距离、以及相邻所述存储单元之间的距离均相等。
举例来说,沿所述第一方向D1相邻的两条所述字线13之间的距离、沿所述第二方向D2相邻的两条所述位线14之间的距离、相邻所述存储单元之间的距离、相邻所述有源区之间的距离、相邻所述位线接触结构15之间的距离均相等,从而使得所述存储单元所占用的面积进一步缩小,所述存储阵列内所述存储单元的密集度进一步提高。
