Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM) is a semiconductor memory device commonly used in computers, and includes multiple semiconductor devices. Each semiconductor device generally includes a capacitor and a transistor. A gate of the transistor is connected to a word line structure, a drain of the transistor is connected to a bit line, and a source of the transistor is connected to the capacitor. Voltage signals on the word line structures can control the transistors to be turned on or off, and then data information stored in the capacitors can be read through the bit lines or written into the capacitors through the bit lines for storage. However, interference between the word line structures affects the performance and reliability of the semiconductor devices.
The disclosure relates to the field of semiconductor technologies, and particularly, to a semiconductor device, a manufacturing method of the semiconductor device, and a semiconductor memory device.
