摘要:
An SRAM including a memory cell having a high-resistance load element. The load element is formed from a polysilicon film, and an impurity is introduced into at least a part of the polysilicon film for the purpose of increasing the threshold voltage of a parasitic MISFET formed using the load element as its channel region. Alternatively, the deposition of the polysilicon film is carried out at a relatively high temperature, thereby preventing any increase in the current flowing through the load element, and thus reducing the power dissipation in the SRAM.

Herein disclosed is a semiconductor integrated circuit device having a SRAM, in which two MISFETs of a flip-flop circuit of a memory cell are connected directly with an n.sup.+ -type drain region so that they are cross coupled; and in which a p.sup.+ -type semiconductor region is formed below a direct contact part by making use of the mask used in the step of forming contact holes for the direct contact part. The p.sup.+ -type semiconductor region aids as a barrier to prevent soft errors of the SRAM due to .alpha.-particles.

A semiconductor device having a CMIS structure for forming a static random access memory is disclosed which device can increase the packing density of the memory and reduce the stand-by power thereof. In this semiconductor device, a first MISFET of a first conductivity type is formed on and a substrate, a second MISFET of a second conductivity type is formed over the first MISFET with a first insulating film therebetween to form a stacked CMIS structure. The second MISFET is made up of a first conductive film, a second insulating film and a second conductive film, with the source, drain and channel regions of the second MISFET being formed in the first conductive film. A first resistive drain region is formed between the channel and drain regions of the first conductive film so that an impurity of the second conductivity type is contained in the first resistive drain region at a lower concentration than in the drain region, or the first resistive drain region is substantially undoped. The first resistive drain region is disposed over the gate electrode of the first MISFET, and the gate insulating film and gate electrode of the second MISFET are formed of the second insulating film and the second conductive film, respectively. In a case where a semiconductor memory device having a static random access memory cell which is provided with a flip-flop circuit of the stacked CMIS type, is formed, a pair of first MISFET's and a pair of third MISFET's of the first conductivity type are formed on the substrate, and the second MISFET is formed on one MISFET of the first MISFET's and the third MISFET's.

A mask-programmed ROM includes depletion type load MOSFETs provided between data lines in a memory array and a power supply voltage, the MOSFETs having a ground potential of the circuit applied to their gates. Reading of data is carried out by an amplifying MOSFET which supplies a current to a selected data line through a depletion type MOSFET which is supplied at its gate with the circuit ground potential. Thus, bias voltages which are respectively applied to the data lines and a sense amplifier which receives a signal read out from a selected data line are made equal to each other, thereby achieving a high-speed read operation.

A static RAM exhibiting a high reliability and suited to a higher density of integration is disclosed. In each memory cell of this static RAM, the cross coupling of a flip-flop circuit is made by gate electrodes of MISFETs constituting this flip-flop circuit. In addition, a source line is formed by the same step as that of a word line. A resistance value of a polycrystalline silicon layer which is a load resistor is changed in accordance with information to be stored. Furthermore, semiconductor regions for preventing soft errors attributed to alpha particles etc. are formed under the MISFETs constituting the flip-flop circuit, so that the channels are not adversely affected.

A CMOS IC is formed on a semiconductor crystalline surface having a plane azimuth (110) or (023), or of a plane azimuth close thereto (plane azimuth substantially in parallel with the above-mentioned planes), in order to increase the speed of operation.At low temperatures, dependency of the carrier mobility upon the plane azimuth becomes more conspicuous as shown in FIG. 1, and the difference of mobility is amplified depending upon the planes. Therefore, employment of the above-mentioned crystalline planes helps produce a great effect when the CMOS device is to be operated at low temperature (e.g., 100.degree. K. or lower), and helps operate the device at high speeds.

摘要:
An inductive magnetic head used for high-density recording having such a construction that prevents magnetic leakage near a magnetic pole at the tip of the magnetic core and reduces magnetic resistance or reluctance at an upper magnetic core front portion is disclosed. An upper magnetic core facing a lower magnetic core with a non-magnetic gap layer interposed therebetween comprises an upper magnetic core front portion near a magnetic pole, and an upper magnetic core rear portion at the rear portion. The front portion has a parallel portion having a width almost equal to the track width extending from the magnetic pole toward the rear end of the front portion, and a sector at the rear of an apex. The front portion has a non-magnetic gap with the lower magnetic core at an area between the magnetic pole and the apex, and the gap between the front portion and the lower magnetic core is wider than the magnetic gap at the rear of the apex. The tip portion of the upper magnetic core rear portion is overlapped and connected to the upper magnetic core front portion on the medium-facing surface side of the apex, extending therefrom to the upper part of a coil and a coil insulating layer.
