Abstract
An SGT-based static memory cell which is a six-transistor SRAM cell includes an SGT driver transistor including a first gate electrode surrounding a first gate insulating film and composed of at least a metal; an SGT selection transistor including a second gate electrode surrounding a second gate insulating film and composed of at least a metal; an SGT load transistor including a third gate electrode surrounding a third gate insulating film and composed of at least a metal; and a gate wire connected to the second gate electrode. An island-shaped semiconductor layer of the driver transistor has a peripheral length that is less than twice that of an island-shaped semiconductor layer of the selection transistor. A voltage applied to the second gate electrode is lower than a voltage applied to a first-conductivity-type high-concentration semiconductor layer on the upper part of the island-shaped semiconductor layer of the selection transistor.
