Abstract
A DRAM is provided. In the DRAM, on a substrate, first and second channel layers are separated in a first direction. A storage node is disposed between the first and second channel layers. A bit line is disposed at one side of the first channel layer away from the storage node. A word line and a first conductive are respectively disposed at opposite sides of the first channel layer in a second direction. A first dielectric layer is disposed between the word line and the first channel layer. A second dielectric layer is disposed between the storage node and the second channel layer. A second conductive is disposed at one side of the second channel layer away from the storage node. A source line and a drain line are respectively disposed at opposite sides of the second channel layer in the second direction.
