Abstract: A memory cell includes a bistable element and two p-channel transistors (i.e., first and second p-channel transistors). The bistable element includes a plurality of inverting circuits and at least one data storage node. The bistable element may be formed in a first region on the substrate that is partially formed by a p-type diffusion region and an n-type diffusion region. The first and second p-channel transistors are coupled serially. The first p-channel transistor may also have its gate terminal coupled to the at least one data storage node of the bistable element. A method of manufacturing the memory cell includes forming a bistable element having at least first and second data storage nodes, forming a write-only port of the memory cell over an n-type diffusion region and forming a read-only port of the memory cell over a p-type diffusion region.
