A complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) static random access memory (SRAM) cell. A CMOS SRAM cell in accordance with an aspect of the present disclosure includes a bit line and a word line. Such a CMOS SRAM memory cell further includes a CMOS memory cell having at least a first p-channel device comprising a first channel material that differs from a substrate material of the CMOS memory cell, the first channel material having an intrinsic channel mobility greater than the intrinsic channel mobility of the substrate material, the first p-channel device coupling the CMOS memory cell to the bit line and the word line.
