Abstract

An improved memory cell (118) is provided which may be incorporated into an array (202) of memory cells. Array (202) includes a first gate conductor region (224) and a second gate conductor region (238), wherein the first and second gate conductor regions are orthogonal to one another. Each one-half of the cell may include two series transistors connected to a cross-coupled trench transistor. Cross-coupling of the trench transistors is effected through the use of parallel local interconnect regions (256) and (258).
