Methods of forming capacitor-free DRAM cells include forming a field effect transistor by forming a first semiconductor wafer having a channel region protrusion extending therefrom and surrounding the channel region protrusion by an electrical isolation region. A portion of a backside of the first semiconductor wafer is then removed to define a semiconductor layer having a primary surface extending opposite the channel region protrusion and the electrical isolation region. A gate electrode is formed on the primary surface. The gate electrode extends opposite the channel region protrusion. The source and drain regions are formed in the semiconductor layer, on opposite sides of the gate electrode.

An electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection circuit includes an MOS transistor acting as a trigger for the circuit. A drain region of the MOS transistor is formed by an N-type heavily doped impurity region which overlaps an N-type well region. Further, a P-type heavily doped impurity region is formed in the N-type well region. The N-type and P-type heavily doped impurity regions are electrically connected to an input/output pad. The ESD protection circuit exhibits a reduced input capacitance at the pad, and a reduced breakdown voltage of the MOS transistor.

A data receiver is provided for stabilizing a reference voltage to which input data is compared. The data receiver includes a differential amplification flip flop for comparing input data to a reference voltage in response to a clock signal, an amplifier for amplifying the results of the comparison, a latch for storing the logic level of the input data, and a counter coupling circuit for reducing the variation of the reference voltage caused by the operation of the differential amplification flip flop in response to an inverted clock signal. In the data receiver, the reference voltage is stably preserved without minimized variation. Also, there is substantially no consumption of direct current (DC) when the data receiver operates.
