Also in the fourth embodiment, the four bit lines BL1 to BL4 are provided with respect to one active area Aa (a pair of the adjacent columnar bodies CL2). That is, the columnar body CL2 and the bit line BL are provided at a ratio of 1:2. On the other hand, the two active areas Aa adjacent in the stretching direction (Y direction) of the bit line BL are deviated by a half pitch in the X direction and share the two bit lines BL. Therefore, for example, the pair of columnar bodies CL2A and CL2B in FIG. 19A correspond to the four bit lines BL1 to BL4. The pair of columnar bodies CL2C and CL2D adjacent to the pair of columnar bodies CL2A and CL2B share only the bit lines BL3 and BL4 among the bit lines BL1 to BL4 together with the pair of columnar bodies CL2A and CL2B. Since the pair of columnar bodies CL2E and CL2F adjacent to the pair of columnar bodies CL2C and CL2D deviate by one pitch in the X direction with respect to the pair of columnar bodies CL2A and CL2B, the pair of columnar bodies CL2E and CL2F share the bit lines BL1 to BL4 together with the pair of columnar bodies CL2A and CL2B. As described above, in the fourth embodiment, the active areas Aa adjacent to each other in the Y direction share two bit lines. The active areas Aa intermittently adjacent in the Y direction share four bit lines BL.
The contacts VY1 to VY4 are provided on the contacts CH1 to CH4, respectively, and the contacts CH1 to CH4 are connected to the bit lines BL1, BL3, BL2, and BL4, respectively.
