Abstract
A one-transistor memory cell comprises a semiconductor body which has a thin insulating layer on a boundary surface and a conductive layer on the thin insulating layer, the conductive layer representing that electrode of a storage capacitor that is connected to a selection field effect transistor. The selection field effect transistor is realized in a layer applied as a polycrystalline semiconductor layer and is then recrystallized. The memory cell provides the smallest possible semiconductor surface. This is achieved in that the recrystallized semiconductor layer is disposed above the conductive layer 3 and is separated therefrom by an intermediate insulating layer, whereby it extends in the lateral direction, at most, up to the edge of the semiconductor layer 3.
