Abstract
A semiconductor memory cell includes a read-out transistor of a first conductivity type which has source/drain regions constituted by a second conductive region and a third semiconducting region, a channel forming region constituted by a surface region of a second semiconducting region, and a conductive gate formed on a barrier layer; a switching transistor of a second conductivity type which has source/drain regions constituted by a first conductive region and the second semiconducting region, a channel forming region constituted by a surface region of a first semiconducting region, and a conductive gate formed on a barrier layer; and a current controlling junction-field-effect transistor of a first conductivity type which has gate regions constituted by a third conductive region and a portion of the second semiconducting region, a channel region constituted by a portion of the third semiconducting region, and one source/drain region extended from one end of the channel region, being constituted by a portion of the third semiconducting region, and another source/drain region extended from the other end of the channel region, being constituted by a portion of the third semiconducting region.
