    摘要: A semiconductor static random access memory having a high .alpha.-ray immunity and a high packing density is provided which is also capable of high-speed operation. A semiconductor memory device comprises static random access memory cells each including a flip-flop circuit. Storage nodes of each flip-flop circuit have respective pn-junctions formed at regions sandwiched between gate electrodes of first insulated gate field effect transistors and gate electrodes of second insulated gate field effect transistors, respectively. The pn-junction has an area smaller than that of a channel portion of the first or second insulated gate field effect transistor. The gate electrode of one of the two first insulated gate field effect transistors and the drain region of the other insulated gate field effect transistor, on one hand, and the drain region of the one insulated gate field effect transistor and the gate electrode of the other insulated gate field effect transistor, on the other hand, are electrically cross-coupled mutually through first and second electrically conductive films, respectively. Also, to increase packing density and enhance immunity to soft error, the gate electrodes of the first and second insulated gate field effect transistors extend substantially in parallel with one another and the channel regions of the first and second insulated gate field effect transistors extend substantially in parallel with one another.

    摘要: Electric charge is supplied to a circuit node being in a charge storing state within a signal processor in response to a signal-processing commencing signal. The processor is operated in a low-temperature range, for example, in the range of temperature below 200K. By this structure, a leakage current is reduced, a high degree of integration equivalent to that of a dynamic circuit can be obtained, and the simplicity of a static circuit not requiring any complicated internal/external timing signals can be realized. Also disclosed is a semiconductor device, and method of forming such semiconductor device, for operation in a range of temperatures below 100.degree. K. The device has, in a silicon surface region where the channel of the device is formed, a low impurity concentration layer (between the source and drain regions of the device). Such low impurity concentration layer is formed by evaporating amorphous silicon on a surface region of a semiconductor region of the device and passing the device through a low-temperature annealing process, the low impurity concentration layer having a lower total impurity concentration than that of the semiconductor region thereunder and having a thickness not more than 100 nm.

    摘要: Information read out from a memory cell of a static type semiconductor memory is subjected to multi-stage sense amplification in an initial stage sense amplifier, a post-stage sense amplifier and a main amplifier and then transmitted to the input of an output buffer circuit. Since an equalizing circuit is connected to the complementary inputs of each stage of the multi-stage sense amplifier, an inverse information read operation can be executed at high speed. Initially, the initial stage sense amplifier, the post-stage sense amplifier and the main amplifier are controlled to operate in high amplification gain conditions so as to execute high speed sense amplification and thereafter controlled to operate in such low power consumption conditions that the read-out information output obtained by the high speed sense amplification will not disappear.
