Abstract
The SRAM cell configuration has at least six transistors in each memory cell. Four of the transistors form a flip-flop and they are arranged at the corners of a quadrilateral. The flip-flop is driven by two of the transistors, which are disposed so as to adjoin diagonally opposite corners of the quadrilateral and outside the quadrilateral. Adjacent memory cells along a word line can be arranged in such a way that a first bit line and a second bit line of the adjacent memory cells coincide. The transistors are preferably vertical and are arranged at semiconductor structures (St1, St2, St3, St4, St5, St6) produced from a layer sequence. Two of the transistors having n-doped channel regions are preferably formed in each case on two semiconductor structures.
