Abstract
A semiconductor device memory cell () can include a built-in capacitor for reducing a soft-error rate (SER). A memory cell () can include a first inverter () and second inverter () arranged in a cross-coupled configuration. A capacitor () can be coupled between a first storage node () and second storage node (). A capacitor () can be a 'built-in' capacitor formed with interconnect wirings utilized to connect memory cell circuit components.
