A static storage cell is formed of two cross-coupled inverters each containing a field effect transistor and a resistor element connected in series therewith. Each circuit node is thus connected via an additional logic element to a bit line allocated thereto. A storage cell is provided which is on as small as possible a semiconductor area and has a short access time. This is achieved by designing the additional logic elements as hot electron transistors which are respectively combined with one of the field effect transistors to form a common component which only requires the area of a field effect transistor. The cell is useful in VLSI semiconductor memories.
