Abstract
A static random access memory has first and second complementary field-effect transistors. The first complementary field-effect transistor includes a semiconductor substrate, a first field-effect transistor of electron conduction type which has a first drain region constituting a Schottky junction and a gate electrode, and a first field-effect transistor of positive hole conduction type which shares the first drain region and has a shared gate electrode. The second complementary field-effect transistor includes a second field-effect transistor of electron conduction type which has a second drain region and a gate electrode, a second field-effect transistor of positive hole conduction type which shares the second drain region and has a shared gate electrode. The gate electrode shared by the first and second complementary field-effect transistors is connected to the common drain region of the mutually opposing complementary field-effect transistors, and the static random access memory has superior resistance to software errors.
