    摘要: A semiconductor device includes a flip-flop circuit, a control line, a first P-type transistor and a first non-volatile storage element, and a second P-type transistor and a second non-volatile storage element. The flip-flop circuit has a circular structure in which a first inverter circuit, a first connection line including a first node, a second inverter circuit, and a second connection line including a second node are coupled in order. The first P-type transistor and the first non-volatile storage element are coupled together in series between the first node and the control line. The second P-type transistor and the second non-volatile storage element are coupled together in series between the second node and the control line. The non-volatile storage element is a magnetic tunnel junction element including a pinned layer, a tunnel barrier layer, and a free layer arranged in order from a position close to the control line.

    摘要: The present disclosure relates to a memory cell structure, a method of manufacturing a memory, and a memory apparatus that are capable of providing a memory cell structure of an MRAM, which reduces resistance of drawn wiring to be connected to an MTJ, reduces an area of a memory cell, and avoids performance degradation of the MTJ due to heat.A memory cell includes: a transistor that uses a first diffusion layer formed in a bottom portion of a concave portion formed by processing a silicon substrate into a groove shape, and a second diffusion layer formed in upper end portions of two opposing sidewall portions of the concave portion, to form channels at portions between the first diffusion layer and the second diffusion layer in the two sidewall portions; and a memory element that is disposed below the first diffusion layer. The first diffusion layer is electrically connected to the memory element via a contact formed after the silicon substrate is thinned.

    摘要: A semiconductor device of the technology includes a first diffusion section (22), a second diffusion section (21), a channel section (23), a gate section (24), and a stress application section (31, 32, or 33). In a semiconductor layer (10) having a groove (10A), the first diffusion section (22) is formed at or in the vicinity of a bottom of the groove (10A), the second diffusion section (21) is formed at an upper end of the groove (10A), and the channel section (23) is formed between the first diffusion section (22) and the second diffusion section (21). The gate section (24) is buried in the groove (10A) at a position opposing the channel section (23). The stress application section (31, 32, or 33) applies one of compressive stress and tensile stress to the channel section (23) in a normal direction to the semiconductor layer (10).
