Abstract

A method for memorizing a data bit in an integrated static MOS-type RAM, a transistor for performing the method, and a memory produced by the method are described. An MOS transistor with a weakly doped channel has a hysteresis phenomenon with subthreshold conduction. The transistor is advantageously used as a memory element in an integrated static RAM cell.
