The ultra-scalable hybrid memory cell contains a conductive connection to the body region therefore avoiding isolation of the P-well due to cut-off by the buried strap outdiffusion region. The ultra-scalable hybrid memory cell avoids the above by using a shallower than normal isolation region that allows the P-well to remain connected to the body of the memory cell.
