  • Patent number: 5834851
    Abstract: Herein disclosed is a semiconductor integrated circuit device comprising a SRAM having its memory cell composed of transfer MISFETs to be controlled through word lines and drive MISFETs. The gate electrodes of the drive MISFETs and the gate electrodes of the transfer MISFETs of the memory cell, and the word lines are individually formed of different conductive layers. The drive MISFETs and the transfer MISFETs are individually arranged to cross each other in the gate length direction. The word lines are extended in the gate length direction of the gate electrodes of the drive MISFETs and caused to cross the gate electrodes of the drive MISFETs partially.The two transfer MISFETs of the memory cell have their individual gate electrodes connected with two respective word lines spaced from each other and extended in an identical direction. The region defined by the two word lines is arranged therein with the two drive MISFETs and the source lines.

  • Patent number: 5731219
    Abstract: Herein disclosed is a semiconductor integrated circuit device comprising an SRAM having its memory cell composed of transfer MISFETs to be controlled through word lines and drive MISFETs, and a method of forming this device. The gate electrodes of the drive MISFETs and of the transfer MISFETs of the memory cell, and the word lines, are individually formed of different conductive layers. The two transfer MISFETs of the memory cell have their individual gate electrodes connected with two respective word lines spaced from each other and extended in an identical direction. The source line is formed of a conductive layer identical to that of the word line. An oxidation resisting film is formed on the gate electrodes of the drive MISFETs so as to reduce stress caused by oxidization of edge portions of these gate electrodes, and to reduce a resulting leakage current.

  • Patent number: 5700704
    Abstract: A method is provided for manufacturing a semiconductor integrated circuit device which includes a capacitor element having a first electrode, a second electrode, and a dielectric film formed between said first electrode and said second electrode. In particular, the method includes the step of forming at least one of the first electrode and second electrode with a polycrystalline silicon film which is deposited over a semiconductor substrate by a CVD method and which is doped with an impurity during said deposition to decrease the resistance of the polycrystalline silicon film. The capacitor element formed by this method is particularly useful for memory cells of static random access memory devices.

  • Patent number: 5239196
    Abstract: A MOSFET Static Random Access Memory (SRAM) cell has a symmetrical construction, with a pair of word lines. The word lines are in second level polysilicon, so that they may overlap the driving transistor gates which are in first level polysilicon.
