To provide a static semiconductor memory which is excellent in soft-error tolerance by addition of a capacitance to a memory node.
A memory cell of the static semiconductor memory is provided with a gate electrode 2 of an MOS transistor which is formed on the principal plane of a semiconductor substrate 1 through an insulating film 3, an interlayer insulating film 4 covering the gate electrode 2, a pair of contact holes 9 provided in the interlayer insulating film 4 each reaching a source and a drain that are disposed at the opposite sides of the gate electrode 2, a plug portion 6 formed in each of the contact holes 9, and a metal wiring 7 formed on each of the plug portions 6. The distance S1 between the contact holes 9 positioned in the interlayer insulating film 4 is made smaller than a distance S2 between the contact holes 9 in the surface of the interlayer insulating film 4.
