Abstract

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.
