  • Patent number: 5274594
    Abstract: A static RAM comprises: column select circuits for connecting a plurality of pairs of corresponding complementary data lines at a unit of each pair with common complementary data lines; and redundant circuits each composed of the complementary data line pair and the column select circuit corresponding to the unit. Load MOSFETs of the complementary data lines are arranged close to the column select circuits to inhibit the column selecting operations by a decoder circuit and turn off the load MOSFETs when fuse means is cut. An access to a defective address is detected by a redundant decoder stored with the defective address, when the fuse means is selectively cut, to select the column select circuits of the redundant circuit.

  • Patent number: 5029323
    Abstract: A semiconductor device facilitates keeping all parasitic resistance values between contact portion of a common source (V.sub.cc) line and intrinsic collector operation regions of respective transistors small enough so as not to exceed predetermined values and so as to be nearly identical. The parasitic resistance values are made small and nearly identical by disposing collector electrode connecting layers between base impurity introducing layers of respective transistors provided with predetermined intervals in a semiconductor substrate. Because of this arrangement to minimize and equalize resistances, the voltage drops generated by the parasitic resistances applied to respective transistors are suppressed so as to be lower than or not substantially exceed the operation threshold voltages of the parasitic transistors.

  • Patent number: 4984200
    Abstract: Herein disclosed is a semiconductor integrated circuit device comprising a SRAM which is composed of a memory cell having its high resistance load element and power source voltage line connected with the information storage node of a flip-flop circuit through a conductive layer. At the same fabrication step as that of forming the plate electrode layer of a capacity element over the conductive layer formed on the portion of the information storage node through a dielectric film, an electric field shielding film for shielding the field effect of a data line is formed over the high resistance load element through an inter-layer insulation film.

  • Patent number: 4963973
    Abstract: A semiconductor device has a well region formed in the surface of a substrate, and has semiconductor elements such as MOSFETs and bipolar transistors formed in the well region. The carrier concentration profile of the well region assumes the shape of a valley in the direction of depth thereof, and a minimum point thereof has a concentration of smaller than 5.times.10.sup.15 cm.sup.-3 and is located at a position within 1.6 .mu.m from the surface of the substrate. Preferably, the minimum point should have a concentration of greater than 5.times.10.sup.14 cm.sup.-3 but smaller than 5.times.10.sup.15 cm.sup.-3, and more preferably a concentration of greater than 1.times.10.sup.15 cm.sup.-3 but smaller than 5.times.10.sup.15 cm.sup.-3.
