Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) We developed a four-transistor SRAM cell with a stacked vertical poly-silicon PMOS for high-density SRAMs. This cell consists of two bulk NMOSs and the two vertical PMOSs stacked over the two NMOSs. Its size was only 1/3 of that of a six-transistor SRAM cell. We also developed an electric-field-relaxation scheme to reduce cell leakage and a dual-word-voltage scheme to improve cell stability. By applying these two schemes to the proposed four-transistor SRAM cell, we achieved a 90% reduction in cell leakage and an improvement in cell stability.
